RATINGS

92Wine Spectator

Plush, bursting with black cherry, blackberry and violet aromas and flavors, tinged by spice accents. All the components are in proportion. Dark fruit and spice flavors emerge on the long finish.

92Vinous / IWC

...drop-dead gorgeous beauty. Silky, layered and voluptuous in the glass. Dark red berries, flowers, mint and spices hit the palate in an exuberant, racy wine bursting with energy, tension and pure class.
