Critics Ratings

'Saturated red. Strong oak influence to the aromas of violet, cherry skin and licorice. Juicy, pure and tightly wound, with a penetrating quality to the dark berry skin, coffee and dark chocolate flavors. Surprisingly perfumed for a wine with such high alcohol. Finishes very long and sweet, with powerful tooth-coating tannins and a strong impression of extract. Lay this one down.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92+/100 (Jun 2011)

'This beautiful wine (gorgeous both in terms of execution and presentation) offers rich layers of mature fruit, chocolate, espresso and exotic spice. The wine's texture is incredibly smooth, soft and persistent.' - Wine Enthusiast, 93/100 (Apr 2011)
