TASTING NOTE: I'm a long time fan of this wine -- it's been turning heads since the mid-eighties, and this is another fine showing. Built for some time in your cellar, it's firm and brooding at present, with vanilla, pie crust, mocha and blackberry aromas and flavors that are still integrating. They will, and you'll have a relative value leader on your hands. Another well made wine from Janet Myers. Score - 94 (Rich Cook, winereviewonline.com, Dec. 6, 2016) |
