Expert Reviews

93 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2012

(15.3% alcohol):  Saturated medium ruby.  Complex aromas of cassis, dark chocolate, licorice, minerals and spicy oak, plus a hint of game.  Pliant and layered on the palate, with an insidious penetrating quality to the seamless cassis, game, mineral and licorice flavors.  A floral element gives lift to this primary but varietally expressive wine.  Finishes long and suave, with fine tannins.  Delicious now but capable of aging for a decade or more.  A terrific vintage for this bottling.
