| TASTING NOTE: Very suave and polished, with ripe, pure flavors of blackberry, hoisin sauce and black pepper. Finely textured, this is packed with tar and roasted plum notes, showing plenty of licorice snap and dark chocolate accents on the powerful finish. Best after 2020. This wine was ranked #19 in Wine Spectators Top 100 Wines of 2014. Score - 93 (Kim Marcus, winespectator.com, Feb. 28, 2014) |
