Author :Michael Pinkus - Grape Guy
DescriptionDescription  Still in its infancy when tried so it needs plenty of aeration to get anything out of the nose or taste. Spicy, black fruit with lots of barrel notes on the nose. A little more comes through on the tongue with peppery-black fruit holding court with some cedary tones. Nice balance of tannins and acidity makes it approachable now (if decanted), or hold for a decade in the cellar. Price: $44.00
