89-91 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2008

Good full medium ruby. Cool, perfumed aromas of black cherry, cassis, violet, menthol and melted licorice. Lush, sweet and creamy, with an impression of soft acidity and fairly deep flavors of black cherry, dark berries and menthol. Offers very good mouth coverage on the back, finishing with an exotic note of chocolate liqueur. An intriguing 2007 that suggests a high-pH mouth feel as well as a cool menthol quality. This has the mid-palate stuffing to support its rather serious tannins.
