95 Points

Tuesday, December 23, 2014 - A Tour Through France Tuesday at Tilia (Tilia, Mpls): Very dark red/purple color, no bricking. PNP with 2 hours of slow-O only. Drank 2 glasses over 2 hours. Wow, this was a pristine bottle that was firing on all cylinders right out of the gate. A fantastic nose, beautifully floral, perfumed, saddle leather, horse barn, dark raspberry, black cherry, cassis. The palate is vibrant, lively ripe fruit that is very fresh, bright red berry, cherry pie, cassis, full bodied, feminine, very elegant, very flavorful, leather, and a long, long finish. The tannins are velvety and enticing. Great wine, perfectly balanced, you'd never believe it was 24 years old. Drinking great and it has a very long future. My and group WOTN.
