RATINGS

94Vinous / IWC

...highly perfumed and finely detailed bouquet evokes fresh red and blue fruits, candied rose, vanilla and incense, and a smoky nuance emerges as the wine opens up. Vibrant raspberry and boysenberry flavors are complemented by suave floral pastille and baking spice flourishes. Blends depth and vivacity with a sure hand and finishes very long and smooth, with recurring florality and polished tannins that make a late appearance.

93Wine Enthusiast

Smooth as silk, this is a rich mix of blackberry, plum, fig and black cherry fruit. The tannins fold a frame of coffee grounds, earth and stem around the finish.
