90(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2012

(60% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 7% malbec and 3% cabernet franc):  Bright red-ruby.  Musky redcurrant, red cherry, plum, tobacco leaf and dried flowers, with hints of woodsmoke and spices; distinctly claret-like.  Then rich and plump if a bit youthfully aggressive, with a restrained sweetness to its chocolate, plum and floral flavors.  Finishes broad and classically dry, with a smooth dusting of tannins and very good length.  I'd give this a couple years in the cellar to round out.
