Expert Reviews

91 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2012

Opaque ruby.  A complex bouquet evokes red- and blackcurrant, dried rose, vanilla and woodsmoke.  Sweet, velvety and open-knit, offering lively red fruit flavors that gain power with air.  Fine-grained tannins add shape to the long, spicy, focused finish.  This wine should drink well soon after release.
