Description
Dark red with violet hues and crimson reflections. Generous aromas of fresh red fruit combine with notes of clove, smoke, vanilla and toast. Seductive on the palate, with exquisitely smooth tannins that bring on a pleasurable and impetuous finish. Meticulous assemblage of Malbec, with powerful Mendozan Syrah and rediscovered Bonards. Accolades WS 89 Ripe and juicy, displaying vivid raspberry and boysenberry fruit that courses along, carried by graphite and licorice notes. No raisined edge of the vintage, either. Very solid. Drink now. -JM, Wine Spectator, 89 Points
