Medium-bodied with a velvety texture and good core of black fruits, it finishes on a long-lasting earthy note.90 Wine SpectatorThis is racy and fresh, showing a beam of loganberry and red currant coulis flavors driving along, laced with subtle savory detail and tobacco and iron notes. The racy finish is carried by mouthwatering acidity.
