| 2010: 88 Points - Josh Raynolds, Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellars: "Dark violet color. Musky redcurrant and cherry on the nose, with notes of tobacco and cracked pepper adding complexity. Ripe but lively on the palate, offering bitter cherry and licorice flavors supported by gentle acidity. This juicy, refreshingly bitter wine finishes with firm grip, slightly rigid tannins and good cling. " |
