Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Sep 12 (Josh Raynolds):
(100% carinena, from a vineyard that is reportedly 83 years old and aged in an 1800-liter French oak cask): Â Inky violet color. Â An explosively perfumed bouquet displays black raspberry, candied cherry, Indian spices and exotic peat and shiso nuances. Â Round and lush on the palate, offering sweet red and dark berry preserve flavors that show serious depth. Â Becomes spicier with air, picking up cinnamon and allspice notes and finishing with excellent clarity and mounting tannins. Â
