Good medium red. Knockout noble nose combines dark raspberry, Oriental spices and white pepper. Wonderfully pure and sweet in the mouth, with a very suave texture to the flavors of dark berries and blood orange. At once fully ripe and utterly vibrant, this has a tangy quality that transcends the vintage. Perhaps most impressive today on the rising, extremely long and perfumed finish, which dusts the mouth with fine tannins and stimulates the taste buds. A stunning showing today. Stephen Tanzer
