95 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2011

(60% garnacha and 40% syrah):  Bright ruby.  An explosively perfumed, fruit-dominated bouquet displays raspberry liqueur, cherry-cola and candied plum, with notes of violet and incense adding complexity.  Deeply pitched but energetic in the mouth, offering sappy red and dark berry flavors and a smooth, seamless texture.  Floral and spice notes linger on a very long, subtly smoky finish.  This seductive wine is approachable now, with some decanting, but I'd give it at least another seven years of bottle age.
