justerini & brooks tasting note

From some of the oldest vines on the estate averaging over 60 years old, this is a total beauty; fragrant, gentle cherry blossom scents lead to a precise, sensual palate. Touches of violet, rose, plum and cherry with a deep minerality and concentration of flavour. There is great strength here but it is delivered in very smooth and genteel way; fabulous.

91-94/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous

(racked in July) Deep, bright red. Superripe, complex nose melds berries, violet, damp earth and a whiff of balsamic vinegar. Wonderfully silky and suave on entry, then spicy and pure in the middle, with a very fresh black cherry flavor dominating underlying earth and floral notes. This spreads out impressively on the back end, with broad tannins saturating the palate.
