Expert Reviews

91 Points | International Wine Cellar , March/April 2013

Deep saturated ruby.  Ripe, sweet nose offers black cherry, cassis, plum and licorice, plus hints of dried fig and chocolatey oak.  Plush, velvety and ripe, with an invitingly pliant texture and captivating sweetness.  Finishes with suave tannins and excellent length and grip.  This is excellent.  Susana Balbo is now toasting her barrels with convection, which she says gives sweetness to the wines without an overbearing oakiness.
