St. Laurent Reserve ALTEN 2015 92 WE Mar18

Buying Guide 2018; The nose presents wonderfully ripe, fleshy and juicy notes of red and black cherry. The full-flavored palate, rich with finely-woven tannin, adds to this impression of fleshy, richness even more but keeps its balance with well-judged, bright crunchy freshness. Hints of cinnamon and plum only add to the generous feel. The grippy but smooth tannins suggest that this will develop. Drink 2020–2025.   – A.K.
