95-96 Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2013

Inky purple.  Heady, explosive aromas of black raspberry and blueberry preserves, garrigue and incense, with smoky mineral and anise accents.  Lush and palate-coating, offering deeply concentrated black and blue fruit flavors that are enlivened by juicy acidity.  Ridiculously rich but animated wine, with excellent finishing thrust and lingering spiciness.  This wine had still not been bottled when I tasted it in mid-November.
