2011 Dow
Posted: 08:37 Sun 18 Aug 2013
Violet colour. A fresh, floral nose, nicely developed. Lush and velvety texture on entry. Chocolate tannins are very firm at first but these then fade back into the fruit to reveal the sweet, rich fruit again. A touch empty on the immediate aftertaste before a long, strong licorice root takes hold. 94-96. Snapshot tasting on 24 April 2013.
