Crushed blueberry on the nose. Full-bodied, with soft, polished tannins and a medium finish. Fruity, with fresh herbs and spices on the finish. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2009

A distinctive earthy, spicy character along with hints of camphor, black currants and raspberries emerge from this medium-bodied 2008. Soft tannins, a seductive mouthfeel and surprising length suggest this wine can be drunk now and over the next decade. Wine Advocate.May, 2011
