Good red-ruby. Superripe aromas of black plum, currant and licorice; high-toned and distinctly surmuri Then sweet, full, broad and deep, with port-like flavors of cherry liqueur and menthol. A very rich wine with no shortage of definition or shape. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and very good length. Showing well today. 89 points, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/Jun 05
Fresh and fruity with lovely berry, grapes and flowers. Full-bodied, round and delicious. Long. Best after 2006. 88 points, The Wine Spectator, March 31, 2006 |
