Wine Advocate-Parker Tasting: Deep garnet-purple in color, it's just a little muted at first, soon unfolding to reveal aromas of crushed cassis, dark cherries, dark chocolate and candied violets that develop slowly, with stony undertones. crushed tobacco leaf, forest floor and fragrant earth plus a hint of bergamot. Medium-bodied and exquisitely elegant, the palate offers perfectly ripe, fine-grained tannins and tons of freshness, with successive layers of fragrant fruit and a very long, ferrous finish. |
