"Moderate amounts of wood and menthol elements frame the prominently ripe aromas of black pinot fruit liqueur aromas that are trimmed in an abundance of pretty spice nuances. The opulently, even lavishly rich medium weight flavors saturate the palate with sappy dry extract which also serves to buffer the more evidently mineral-inflected finish that is both firm and youthfully austere. Patience definitely required here." Burghound
"Full ruby-red. Musky black cherry and chocolate on the nose. Sweeter and more pliant than the oak-aged Caillerets, showing enticing juicy acidity but less floral lift and concentration than that wine. Finishes with a sexy note of chocolatey oak, some subtly complex soil tones and very suave tannins." Stephen Tanzer
