Leo's Blind Tasting Group - March '10 edition (Braeburn, NYC): Incredible aromatics; was happy to keep smelling this for a while and enjoying the range of flavours here from developed tarry, earthy and mushroom notes to bright red fruits, dried rose petals and touches of raisins/dried fruits that made it come across almost Amarone-like. Very ripe in the mouth with plenty of richness and weight to the fruit flavours, lots of complexity with layers of mushroom, tar and herbal elements beneath - really lovely.

(at Cinghiale – Baltimore) Medium garnet. Red berry, flowers, black tea and red meat on the nose. Very complex. Perfect to drink today – intense fruit and soy…long and fine. (93)

Beautiful orangeish red. Mature nose of goudron and tobacco. Still tannic in the mouth, with some dying black fruits. A touch of va, but a really nice wine.
