Burhound 90 Points | A slightly riper though still agreeably fresh nose combine notes of red and dark raspberry with more evident earth nuances. Here too the mouthfeel of the medium-bodied flavors is generous to the point of being seductive, which contrasts with the ever-so-mildly tangy finish. I suspect that the tangy quality will be less obvious when the wine is decanted as the gas is accentuating it.
