85-88 Points | International Wine Cellar , April 2012

Dark ruby-purple.  Penetrating floral and forest floor notes complicate aromas of blackcurrant and minerals.  Big, dense and suave, with bright flavors of crystallized blackcurrant, coffee and cocoa.  Finishes with mounting tannins that remain just this side of dry, and a stony tang that keeps the wine juicy.
