93 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2007

Suave on entry, then full, lush, sweet and seamless in the middle palate, with subtle floral lift contributing to the impression of definition. Strong in extract and quite fine-grained in spite of its thickness. Finishes impressively long, with very suave tannins.
