Nose

Broad and expressive, playing the cherry, raspberry and pear notes against fine tannins. Picks up tobacco, tar and mineral notes as the finish sails on. - Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator

Palate

Wonderfully concentrated, saline wine with terrific spicy energy and delineation to its very pure raspberry and smoke flavors. Still tightly coiled but the outstanding purity and intensity of fruit here is clear. Finishes with great length and spicy lift. - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Appearance

Good medium-deep red. - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
