Score 85/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Dark red. Aromas of red cherry, red berries, cinnamon, nutmeg, sandalwood, rose petal and bourbon; I might have identified this blind as sangiovese. Juicy, supple, moderately concentrated red fruit flavors seem overshadowed by oak. Initially soft tannins turned a bit dryer in the glass.
