Here too there is just enough wood influence to merit mentioning surrounding the markedly spicy red and dark pinot fruit scents where a hint of exotic tea can also be found. The caressing, delicious and suave medium weight flavors that possess a velvety texture before concluding in a firm, punchy and balanced finale. This will need at least a few years of cellaring before it will be approachable. 89-92 Points, Outstanding Top value Allen Meadows, BURGHOUND
