88 Points | International Wine Cellar , October 2007

($120) Inky purple-red. Sweeter and riper on the nose than the Gallina, with even more obviously overripe aromas of toasty oak, menthol and cherries macerated in alcohol. Broodingly rich and dense; sweet and creamy, with deep red cherry, minty blackberry and meaty flavors complicated by a strong, smoky balsamic quality. Offers a very lush, tactile mouthfeel, with obviously high alcohol and very ripe tannins. As impressive as this may be, a glass or two might be enough for me.
