Tasting Notes

This red starts out silky, gaining depth and intensity as it builds to a long, muscular finish. Concentrated yet fluid, tannic yet balanced, framing black cherry, black currant, iron, tobacco and spice flavors. Shows excellent potential. I think we have a tiger by the tail here. Best from 2023 through 2045.

Score: 97

Dark red-ruby. Wild but reticent nose offers scents of black raspberry, spices, game, coffee and mint. Then wonderfully rich and surprisingly sweet in the mouth, with a deep core of dark berry, Asian spice and licorice flavors accented by a tangy peppery quality. Expands impressively on the back half, finishing with suave, fine-grained tannins, a captivating blend of sweetness and spiciness, and lingering perfume that goes on and on.

Score: 94

Half is derived from purchased grapes in the upper part, half from land owned in Mazis-bas. Rich, deep glowing purple in colour. More backward than some, but it is all there. This wine also shows that excellent freshness of the vintage, with lacy dancing dark red fruits. There is terrific structure behind, beautifully integrated with the fruit, then an exceptional quality of dark raspberry, ripe coulis, stretches out the finish. Fabulous and very complex.

Score: 95
