Score Publication Review Copy
91 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar Vivid ruby. Explosively perfumed aromas of fresh red and dark berries, Asian spices, smoky minerals and incense. Deeply concentrated raspberry and cassis flavors are surprisingly energetic-in fact almost weightless. Racy and focused, with pure red fruit qualities carrying through a long, sappy finish. A very pretty wine that blends deep, sweet fruit with refreshing energy and clarity.
