RATINGS

94James Suckling

Quite impressive ripe dark plums and blackberries with sweet, earthy depth and cedary background oak on the nose. The palate has smooth, slick tannins that carry rich dark fruit long and fresh. This has terrific energy and depth.

93Wine Spectator

Silky and refined, with seductive crushed plum and raspberry fruit that glides along, perfectly melded with singed alder and mesquite notes along with black tea and warm licorice details.

93Vinous / IWC

A very pure, well-defined bouquet of blackberry, bilberry, tobacco and chalk; a touch of leather develops in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, and certainly one of the purest in terms of fruit

92The Wine Advocate

A nose of crushed black berries and chocolate-covered cherries with touches of fried herbs and tilled soil. Medium-bodied, refreshing and elegant in the mouth, with chewy tannins, it has an herbal lift on the finish.
