94 pts

Description

Clear deep ruby hue,with a medium-plus intensity that unfurls an intricate tapestry of cedar, clove, cherry, blackberry, and a subtle note of horseradish and delicate floral blossoms. Hints of cocoa and black currant leaf contribute to its complexity. A dry wine with robust tannins and pronounced acidity. Its full-body is amplified by the higher alcohol content, leading to a medium-plus finish. 94/100
