94 Points | International Wine Cellar , December 2008

Deep red. Strikingly complex nose offers powerful scents of red berries, spicecake, cured meat and potpourri. Velvety red berry and kirsch flavors stain the palate, picking pick up candied lavender and fruitcake nuances with air. The spiciness builds on the finish, which echoes the cherry note. This wine was most noteworthy for its power in the early going (I rated it 92-94 shortly before it was bottled) but has become more graceful and now conveys a stronger impressive of pure, spicy fruit.

A real treat

This wine is drinking exceptionally well right now. I tried the highly rated Charvin and there is no comparison. Elegant, floral, complex, very impressive.
