"(includes bits of petit verdot, malbec and merlot) Good bright red-ruby. Deep, candied aromas of black fruit liqueur, licorice, mocha, mint and flowers. The slightly exotic candied character carries through onto the palate, which offers sweet, fat flavors of black raspberry, mocha and chocolatey oak. The texture is supple despite a bit of spiky acidity. Finishes with sweet tannins." Vinous, May 2006 |
