Expert Reviews

92 Points | International Wine Cellar , January 2012

(aged entirely in French oak, 80% new):  Full deep red-ruby. Superripe aromas of blackberry and bitter chocolate, complicated by hints of wild herbs, game and mint.  Sweet, pliant and suave, but with integrated acidity giving focus to the middle palate.  Winemaker Alejandro Vigil added 10% cabernet franc to the blend to add floral lift.  Finishes broad and fine-grained, with sweet tannins and excellent grip and length.
