94 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2007

($156; a special selection from a low-yielding, limestone-rich vineyard at an altitude of about 1,900 feet) Glass-staining ruby. An exotic bouquet offers deep raspberry, kirsch, cured tobacco, incense and fresh rose, along with a suave vanilla undercurrent. The tangy red berry and cherry flavors show a subtle sweetness, and are accompanied by slow-building vanillin oak spices and a sexy mocha character. Finishes with outstanding clarity and drive, leaving sweet red fruit and floral qualities in its wake. Just 800 bottles for the U.S. market.
