Vintage Cellar Review:
88 points - Stephen Tanzer
Dark purple. Zesty, youthfully medicinal aromas of dark berries, licorice and cracked pepper. Juicy and fresh, with smooth texture and sweet cherry and spice flavors framed by dusty tannins. Finishes with a suggestion of slightly roasted fruits and good clinging persistence. Delivers a lot of power and richness for the money.
My Review:
While the review above states the color was a dark purple, I observed the color to be more of a brown-red. I could taste notes of cherry, oak, and definitely spice (maybe coriander?). This wine was very complex and deep that had a lasting finish.
I did not have any food while tasting this wine.
