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

(this went through malolactic in used oak) Good deep red-ruby. Crushed blackberry and black cherry aromas are lifted by a violet topnote. Tactile, sappy and fresh, with a savory quality that should make this flexible at the dinner table. Finishes with impressive energy and sneaky persistence.

Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2010-2014, Jancis Robinson MW, Sep 2009

Zesty nose. Very full and velvety. With a slightly raw, tart note. Certainly not in balance yet! Uncomfortable tartness on the finish. (JR)
