| TASTING NOTE: Very deep purple-black in color, the 2008 Durif (Petit Sirah) offers pronounced notes of prunes, dried mulberries and spice cake with a whiff of tilled loam. Full bodied and generously fruited, the palate yields very crisp acid and a medium level of velvety tannins, finishing long and spicy. Drink it now to 2016 Score: 91 (Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW, erobertparker.com, June 2011) |
