86-89 Points | International Wine Cellar , April 2012
(55% cabernet sauvignon, 39% merlot, 3.5% cabernet franc and 2.5% petit verdot): Good full red-ruby. Good lift and spice to the musky aromas of dark plum, licorice and gunflint. Juicy and fairly intense, with bitter chocolate and graphite flavors perked up by mineral energy. Finishes pure, clean and long, with lovely floral nuances.
