AaronMaxwell Likes this wine: 95 points
June 30, 2022 - Tiffany says 93-94, I say 95. She prefers old world, but this is clearly not…
After an hour decant…Bright strawberry on the nose, but brooding raspberry beneath.
It’s settled down since sip #1 (which was all tight and dark).
The wine is well balanced with earthy, creme de cassis nose. Blackberries and blueberries dancing together over the stage of gentle tannins. Hints of cigar leaf, but doesn’t overtake the wine.3 people found this helpful 5,838 views
