90 Points | International Wine Cellar , January 2012

60% cabernet sauvignon and 40% merlot; 29.9 g/l dry extract;13.2% alcohol):  Medium deep ruby-red.  Blackberry, cassis, sassafras, camphor and quinine on the nose.  Sweet dark berry and bitter chocolate flavors show an almost liqueur-like creaminess, but bright acidity keeps this fresh midweight light on its feet.  Finishes silky, balsamic and long, with tar, pepper and mineral notes providing grip.
