2018 - 2041justerini & brooks tasting note
Bright, svelte and reserved, fine, silky and deceptively powerful. Long, lacy, mineral-flecked flavours of red currant, cherry and summer berry with faint shades of spice. All of the depth and polish you would expect from this fine parcel of 80-year-old vines, the oldest vines on the estate.
critic reviews
92/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Good dark, bright red. Dark cherry, bitter chocolate and crushed stone on the nose. Broad, dry and refined, with a sweetness leavened by pungent red berry flavors complicated by spices, pepper and earth. Can't match the fruit intensity and freshness of the young 2012 version but the rising finish boasts glistening, sweet tannins and a sound structure for a graceful evolution in bottle.
