Tasting Notes

This wine exhibits a dark plum color and a complex nose of roasted herbs, Asian spices, earth, and sweet black cherry fruit. A refined Claret, with excellent concentration, a sweet mid-palate, and moderate tannin in the finish, it is a finesse-styled Pomerol. Anticipated maturity: now-2016. Last tasted, 1/02.
