Teresa Perez C - Clean, brilliant, intense, cherry red. N - Very ripe, red fruit, reminds one of liqueur soaked red fruit aromas, inky, bouquet very marked by violets.

Yoichi Sato C - Quite nice, very dark and deep red garnet. N - Shy and modest. Violets, black fruit with nuances of greenness. P - Agreeable wood and tannic presence. Average flavors, round bodied, tannins quite attractively presented and of good quality, modest finish. Quite simple wine.
