RATINGS

100Robert M. Parker Jr.

...loads of graphite, cedar wood, charcoal, crème de cassis and forest floor... ...tastes like a great first-growth Pauillac and has an amazing amount of complexity and richness.

99James Suckling

Sensational aromas of blackberries, blueberries, violets and wet earth. Tar undertones. Full body, chewy yet polished tannins and a long, flavorful finish.

93-96Vinous / IWC

This is a wine for the long haul. Crème de cassis, blackberry jam, spice, menthol, game, licorice and smoke flow through to the powerful, incisive finish.
