90 Points | International Wine Cellar , March/April 2011

Opaque ruby. Sexy aromas of black raspberry, spice cake, garrigue and rose, with a touch of smoky minerals adding lift. Deeper and more serious on the palate, which offers bitter cherry and blackberry flavors that are given spine by juicy acidity. Fine-grained and silky on the persistent finish, which repeats the spice and floral notes. This has lost the firm edge that I found last year and should drink well young.
