Producer |
D'ARENBERG |
| Deep purple colour. Juicy, ripe, plum-cherry nose with some cedary notes. Dry, medium bodied, fairly spicy, slightly jammy, very ripe, plum-cherry purée flavours with a fairly crisp, somewhat cedary finish. Ready-to-drink. TONY ASPLER / 88.5-points / BUY - Deep purple in colour; cedar, black raspberry nose; medium to full-bodied, dry, firmly structured; well extracted black raspberry flavour with a lively spine of acidity. Has 14.3% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L15309 on the back label with a screwcap closure. Much better than the 2012 (*+) released on February 20, 2016 at $19.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: Plump wild raspberry and blackberry flavors show a brambly, white pepper edge. Firm tannins turn appealingly chewy on the finish. Drink now through 2026. Score - 89 (MaryAnn Worobiec, winespectator.com, 2017) |
