Gould Campbell, Vintage other_regions complicated by nuances of violet

complicated by nuances of violet and flint

it is fresh and elegant and from a cooler (more Atlantic) vintage with more rain than the average and a relatively late harvest between September 28th and October 12th

There is a wonderful sense of symmetry here with a silky elegant finish that is amazingly persistent

with an opaque bluish/purple color to the rim

It is not a complex Pauillac and the finish feels a tad staid

Gould Campbell, Vintage other_regions complicated by nuances of violetMedium deep ruby. Liqueur like aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, cassis, smoked meat, minerals and maple syrup. Juicy, intensely flavored and medium sweet; not unctuous but offers very good intensity and snap. Flavors of black fruits and licorice. A round, nicely balanced wine whose slightly fiery but persistent finish features rather fine tannins and good grip. Stephen Tanzer
