94 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2011

Glass-staining purple.  An exotic and highly perfumed bouquet evokes candied dark berries, cherry, licorice, oak spices and potpourri.  Pliant, palate-staining dark fruit flavors deliver an intriguing combination of power and energy, picking up spice and floral pastille qualities with air.  Very smooth and seamless wine with strong finishing thrust and excellent persistence.  I suspect that this will drink well soon.
