RATINGS

96James Suckling

...attractive, glossy, ripe red-plum and licorice aromas with cedar, flowers and red berries...very fragrant, cabernet-driven nose...palate has elegance and grace with sleek and charming, balanced style and a discreet tannin structure that holds the finish long and fresh.

94Vinous / IWC

...complex, aromatically intense and beguiling, with myriad layers of flavors... Black cherry, sage, leather, smoke and menthol add plenty of intrigue...it is the wine's balance and sense of harmony that make the deepest impression.

93The Wine Advocate

...aromas of cassis, chocolate, earth, tar, pepper and hoisin with touches of flowers and a meaty nuance...palate is medium to full-bodied, firm and grainy with a great core and a long finish.

93Jeb Dunnuck

...fabulous stuff...perfume of smoke tobacco, black currants, truffly earth, and spring flowers. Finesse-driven, medium-bodied, and seamless on the palate...ultra-fine tannins and no hard edges...

16.5Jancis Robinson

Quite savoury and saline on the nose. Sweet and round... Velvety.
