TASTING NOTE: A lot to love about the slick, smoothly rendered tannins that carry impressively struck ripe summer berries, plums, cherries and cassis fruits. This is terrific. Blend of 56% cabernet sauvignon, 37% shiraz and 7% merlot. Drink now. Score - 94 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, July 17, 2017) |
