RATINGS

97Wine Spectator

...crushed berry, flowers, currant and Indian spices follow through to a full body, with ultrafine tannins and a long, long finish. Extremely polished and beautiful, with a seamless texture...

97James Suckling

This is a fabulous wine. A very giving wine with an amazing nose of currants, strawberries and flowers. This is a gorgeous wine. Full and powerful, with chewy and ripe tannins and a long, long finish.

93+ Robert M. Parker Jr.

Notes of bay leaf, blackcurrants, earth and spice..dense ruby/plum/purple color, a medium to full body, with tannins still present and a nice, spicy aftertaste.

92Stephen Tanzer

Inviting, expressive aromas of plum, redcurrant, mocha, coffee, game, flowers and nutty oak.

17.5Jancis Robinson

...Sweet and toasty nose with some energy and very lush palate cover. Ripe tannins. Sufficient acidity. Needs time but should make very fine old bones...
