about RegionTASTING NOTES
—
Simon Tam
Intense and fresh blackberries. Still very young – needs time for fruit/oak integration. Vibrant acidity, grainy fruit tannins. Long, tasty finish. Can age for another 15 years.
—
Janet Wang
Floral and bright fruit aromas. The fresh mint and eucalyptus notes slightly spoil the balance and integration.
—
Jeremy Stockman
Really sweet, intense nose, high alcohol content, high oak, high tannins. Not sure this is going to soften.
—
David Xing
Bitter, woody, very drying tannins. Shows some ambition, but not very balanced.
