2/18/2018 - b1bjbba wrote: 92 pointsCarbonic maceration is present and blends beautifully with ripe red cherries and blueberries. 8 years later completely open to pop and pour with bright red cranberries and subtle tannins. Fruit is fresh with age adding complexity. Decanted for an hour and just singing. looking to purchase another bottle. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |
