RATINGS

96Robert M. Parker Jr.

One of the superstars of the vintage, this brilliant 2011 possesses superb concentration and purity, medium to full body, and remarkable length of close to a minute. A tour de force in winemaking...

95James Suckling

95 A wine with currants and mineral character on the nose and palate. It’s full-bodied, with silky, polished tannins and a long finish.

93Wine Spectator

Offers a range of charcoal, bay and dark licorice notes out front, backed by an ample core of steeped blackberry and black currant fruit. The charcoal-studded finish has serious grip and pleasantly layered flesh.

92-94Vinous / IWC

...offering ripe blackberry and chocolate aromas accented by minerals and violet. Juicy and intense, with lovely lift to the small berry fruit flavors.
