Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jul 2012

Full medium red. Slightly high-toned aromas of blackberry, black cherry, hot rocks, licorice and herbs. Juicy and moderately intense, with good energy to the dark fruit and spice flavors, which carry nicely on the fresh aftertaste. Tannins are quite suave. For drinking over the next ten years.

Score 88/100 · Drink 2012-2020, Robert Parker, Dec 2011

Sexy black cherries, unsmoked cigar tobacco, hot rocks and roasted herbs all characterize this soft, lush, very fruity and enticing wine, which is mid-weight and ideal for drinking over the next 6-8 years.
