Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2009

Good bright, full red. Musky small red berries, maraschino cherry and smoke on the rather wild nose. Then sweet and sappy in the mouth, with attractive floral lift to the raspberry, mineral and leather flavors. The long, juicy finish features brisk notes of red fruits, flowers and spices.

Score 89-92/100 · Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jan 2009

Here the nose blends upper and lower register aromas that include cranberry, raspberry, cassis, rose petal and smoked jerky that merges into very pure and textured flavors that also have a certain delicate quality to them, yet the finish is robust, sauvage and displays very good phenolic maturity to the structural elements. This should age well as it's balanced yet will be approachable young.
