95 Points | International Wine Cellar , July/August 2003

Browning deep red. Concentrated, complex nose shows earthy, floral, tarry and rancio aromas lifted by pure, fragrant and mature spirits. Sweet and as smooth as silk, with intense flavors of small fruits, licorice and chocolate. Finishes clean, savory and very long, with a suggestion of asphalt. Remarkable stuff.
