Wine Spectator: Firm, slightly dusty-edged plum and cassis fruit here, with a good sappy feel on the finish. Underlying tarry edge. Solid, if a bit reticent today.-J.M.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Deep inky ruby. Pure, refined aromas of fresh blackcurrant, minerals, violet and coffee liqueur. Then pure and suave in the mouth, with excellent density to the blackberry and...

Wine Spectator: An aromatic, elegant and supple wine, with wave after wave of intense, pure, and ripe flavors of peach, apricot, lemongrass, jasmine, passion fruit and nectarine. All of this ...

Burghound: This is also quite floral with ripe citrus and stone hints that marry into full-bodied and very rich flavors that possess a textured mouth feel and excellent intensity on the ...

James Suckling: Blueberry and floral aromas follow through to a full body, with superfine tannins and a long, flavorful finish. But very refined and subtle. Love the texture.
