| Qty=2Size=750 ml, ST[94]"Dark red with ruby tones. Sexy if restrained aromas of blackberry, raspberry, tobacco and coffee, complicated by dusty soil tones and an obvious oak element. Then considerably more open in the mouth, offering highly complex, fine-grained flavors of raspberry, dusty herbs and chocolatey oak. At once creamy and light on its feet, this wonderfully savory wine boasts an utterly silky texture. Finishes energetic and suave, with relatively light, melting tannins and sneaky mounting length. Happily, the wine's 10% Petite Verdot component (the two varieties were co-fermented) was not at all overripe in 2007 (15.5% alcohol)" - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (March 2019) |
