91 Points | International Wine Cellar , March 2012

Bright purple.  Highly perfumed aromas of raspberry, rose, lavender and Asian spices.  Juicy, pure and penetrating, offering tightly wound red berry, floral and star anise flavors that gain depth with air.  A long, aromatic, sharply delineated finish features bright berry and floral qualities.  Incidentally, the excellent 2009 version of this wine has shut down a bit since last year but also seems to have put on some weight.  I'd let it rest for a couple more years before cracking another bottle.
