Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
byStephen Tanzerthe5/16/2014
Dark ruby. Fresh aromas of dark berries, violet, graphite and cigar box. Bright, moderately dense and fine-grained, with nicely ripe flavors of dark fruits, chocolate and oak. Firm acidity and a solid tannic structure give this wine plenty of backbone and extend the fresh flavors at the back. Not particularly complex, but better-balanced than most wines from the lesser Left Bank appellations.
