96 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2011

(cabernet sauvignon blended with 2% merlot):  Good full red-ruby.  Complex, slightly high-toned aromas of plum and brown sugar.  Wonderfully sweet but firmly built; dense, smooth and complex, with the terrific definition of the 2008 vintage at its best.  A hint of nutty ripeness is countered by a lively suggestion of eucalyptus. This is harmonious from day one.  Comes across as less sweet than the Palengat, finishing with great length and breadth but no undue weight, and spreading out to coat the mouth with flavor.
