Expert Reviews

88(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2011

($25) Bright saturated ruby. Sexy oak spices complement blackberry, cassis, bitter chocolate, licorice and mint on the nose. Juicy, intense and penetrating, with a firm spine for aging. Not at all overly sweet-in fact a bit youthfully stunted-with a dominant flavor of boysenberry. Finishes with slightly tough tannins. This will need time to expand and gain in pliancy.
