Top Notes For

8.8

2013, opened Jan 2017. Leather, rosemary, maybe a hint of juniper berries in the bouquet. Light touch of fruit, on the front palate--raisins, raspberries. Slightly acid on the top of the mouth with some earthy tannins. Fades to a smooth tannins on the back palate. More of a Bordeaux intensity than an in your face Napa Cab intensity to this wine. I'd like to try it again in 5 years.
