Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 91 Inky ruby. High-pitched aromas of sweet red berries, flowers and Asian spices. Dense and ripe, with noteworthy energy as well as nervy lift to the sweet red and dark berry flavors. The spicy note echoes strongly on the long, strikingly pure finish. I like the energy and linear character of this powerful wine.
