96-98 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2011

Good full, deep red.  Compelling perfume of musky strawberry, wild game, smoky minerality and underbrush.  Broad and sweet, but with outstanding definition and a magically light touch to its fruit, mineral and spice flavors.  Wonderfully brisk, complete wine with an explosive back end featuring great tannic structure and outstanding aromatic lift.  I wouldn't call this powerful wine fat or silky, but it's utterly seamless and incredibly suave.  Should be a cellar classic.
