TSBWine Likes this wine: 93 points
October 31, 2014 - 92-93+ Points. Tasted serially over 2-3 hours at 60-65 degrees.
On the nose dried red fruits, roasted meat, incense and savory spices. On the palate, dried raspberry and red currants gave way to roasted meat, dried herbs, cedar wood, spice and a lengthy and resonant cigar wrapper finish.
Still seemed to be quite fresh although it seemed at a point where it might be in a graceful descent from its peak. Good overall acidity with nice density and steady structure. Moderate weight and texture on the palate but well delineated with nice clarity.2 people found this helpful 8,782 views
