2005 Krohn Retiro Novo
Owned by Wiese & Krohn. Lovely youthful red, 95% opaque. Light, pleasant fruit on the nose that is soft and sweet. Sweet perfumed fruit on the palate. Soft tannins but lovely balance and structure. Lovely density of sweet, perfumed fruit. This has a wonderful elegance to it. Attractive now and with 10-20 years of cellaring potential. 91/100. Drunk 24-Apr-14 at BFT5.
