A spicy dark berry fruit and floral component carries a whiff of animale yet remains pure and actually quite elegant and this refinement can also be found on the impressively concentrated mid-palate of the full and generous flavors that culminate in a mouth coating and exceptionally persistent finish. This should require close to a decade to arrive at its apogee.91-93 Points, Allen Meadows' Burghound, Issue#33.
Sexy aromas of red berries, minerals and spices, perked up by a medicinal peppery quality and a floral note. Dense and sappy, with a lush texture and very good depth to the sweet cherry fruit. The fullest to this point of these 2007s. Finishes broad and persistent, with very fine tannins and lingering perfume. 90-92 Points, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 09 |
