Expert Reviews

93 Points | International Wine Cellar , February 2011

Bright purple.  Black raspberry, cherry, star anise and potpourri on the nose, with a touch of white pepper adding lift and spiciness.  Densely packed with red and dark berry fruit but remains light on its feet, with subtle smoke and herb notes adding complexity.  Packs a serious punch but comes off lithe, with excellent finishing clarity, grip and persistent spiciness.
