Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2013

Glass-staining ruby. Powerful, deeply pitched aromas of black and blue fruits, woodsmoke and licorice, with a peppery topnote. Reminds me a bit of a ripe syrah, with smoky cassis and boysenberry flavors that stain the palate. Closes broad and long, with lingering smokiness and slow-mounting tannins.
