91 Points | International Wine Cellar , January 2012

Vivid ruby.  Dark berries, potpourri and pungent herbs on the highly perfumed nose.  Juicy, sweet and vibrant, with impressive clarity to its black raspberry and lavender pastille flavors.  Picks up a smoky note with air and finishes with outstanding energy, focus and length.  I also had the chance to re-taste the 2008 bottling and it is still a bit bound up, but aeration bring out sweet dark berry fruit and spices.  It looks to be on a slow aging curve for the vintage.
