"Rich ruby with a fine garnet sheen. Smells of dried porcini mushrooms and leather, some plum and rose. Finely meshed, polished tannins on the palate, smooth and rich, salty, with a firm drive."
92 Wine Spectator
"Licorice-tinged cherry, plum, tar and leather aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this dense, muscular red. A crowd of tannins converges, but this stays balanced and fresh on the aftertaste. Best from 2020 through 2036. 1,000 cases made, 250 cases imported. — BS"
Product Description:
"To the eye, it is rich in color. The bouquet has an overtone of greenness with hints of mountain hay and autumn leaves. Nuances of fresh fruit, small fruit, tobacco and sweet spices often join its decided vinosity. A well structured, very balanced wine in its acidity and tannicity. It keeps its vinosity as it comes round; it's harmony, freshness, and value increase. It is a very ageable wine." -Winery
