4/28/2009 - Mikealvin wrote: 88 pointsVisually, very purple hue's. Right out of the cellar at 55 degrees the aromatics were a bit muted, but after it warmed strong red rose scents along with some wet forest floor and pine needles. Bright fruit on the palate, a bit one dimensional (not much on the mid) but a faint strawberry finish. Light tannins, med finish. Well made. |
