90 Points | International Wine Cellar , July/August 2012

Good full red.  Redcurrant, mocha and cedary, smoky oak on the ripe nose, with a hint of peppery lift.  Lush, ripe and concentrated, offering a dense, thick texture for this wine and a hint of salty herbs.  Nicely subtle and perfumed in the mouth.  Finishes with suave tannins and sneaky length.  A sleeper of the vintage, for drinking over the next 15 years.
