91 Points | International Wine Cellar , July/August 2012

Bright red-ruby.  Sexy, smoky aromas of black raspberry, charcoal and game show an exotic jammy ripeness that reminded me of syrah from the Languedoc.  Then lush and mouthfilling, with compelling sweetness to its black raspberry, smoke and game flavors.  For all its near-confectionery sweetness and early appeal, harmonious acidity gives this outsized wine lovely inner-palate energy.  I'd enjoy this beauty over the next ten years.
