93 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2011

Opaque purple.  Explosive aromas of red and dark berry preserves, cola, incense and potpourri, with smoke and mineral overtones.  Deeply pitched black raspberry and cherry flavors show striking clarity and power, with a zesty mineral quality adding lift and cut.  Manages to be both powerful and lithe, and finishes with outstanding thrust and mineral-driven persistence.  I've found recent vintages of this wine to be more delineated and agile than those of the early 2000s.
