Score: 87Vintage 2015Wine EnthusiastAromas of crushed mint and red berry form the nose along with a whiff of rose petal. On the assertive, linear palate, firm grainy tannins accompany dried cherry and white pepper before leaving a lean mouth-drying close.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 87Vintage 2010Wine EnthusiastSubtle aromas suggesting tilled earth, leather and underbrush form the nose along with a whiff of eucalyptus. On the somewhat lean palate, you'll find truffle, prune and dried sage alongside brisk acidity and dusty, drying tannins that leave a rather drying finish. Drink sooner rather than later.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
