RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

Musky narcissus-like floral perfume; ripe purple plum and blackberry; sassafras and licorice....tannins here are ultra-refined.. dark intrigue of enveloping black fruits, forest floor, fungal, and carnal flavors that persist on the palate.

93+ Stephen Tanzer

Sexy, highly perfumed nose offers red fruits, cocoa powder and earth. Dense and sappy. Also conveys strong soil tones but here there's a compelling mid-palate sweetness and the tannins are quite fine.

93Burghound.com

...The floral-infused, structured and very serious flavors culminate in a youthfully austere finish offering huge depth and length with both precision and linearity...

TYPE
