Round, mossy and deep smelling, but austere in the mouth. A berry and plum flavor profile is infused with tomato and herbal notes, while the finish is long, healthy and cleansing. Very sturdy and Navarran in every sense because it blends juicy fruit with cool-climate typicity. Good but not for fans of sweet, bulky, superripe reds.——M.S.(8/1/2009)—— 87
