TASTING NOTES
"Attractive, well-defined, espresso-scented bouquet with subtle black cherry and dried violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, slightly edgy tannins. It is tightly coiled, with tarry black fruit and a weighty finish - this needs a year or two to unfurl." Wine Advocate #203.
