RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

...dark and richly concentrated appearance with lingering aromas of dark fruit, spice and black olive. The mouthfeel is dense and compact with a dry, mineral-driven finish. This is a great wine from a classic vintage.

91Wine Spectator

Featuring trim tannins, a delicate herbal overtone and a tangy, minerally underpinning, this elegant, medium- to full-bodied red displays a more traditional side, while pure notes of ripe black currant, spice box, citrus and pomegranate provide harmony and pleasure.

17.5Jancis Robinson

... Fantastic, complex nose of blackcurrant, orange skin, iron and with a hint of cinnamon bark and leather. Supple, succulent generous palate with cassis and orange peel notes and silky tannins. Immaculate balance. A stunning wine, complex as well as hedonistic.
