Critics Ratings
‘Deep ruby. Pungent raspberry and cherry aromas, along with Asian spice and floral qualities. Fleshy red fruit and lavender pastille flavors pack a serious punch, with zesty minerality and a hint of allspice. providing brightness. The impressively long, sweet finish echoes the floral element and clings with excellent tenacity.’ - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 92/100 (Jun 2012)
‘This is juicy and still a bit compact, with a mix of blackberry, plum and blueberry notes laced with licorice snap and backed by a long, spice-infused finish. A tarry hint lurks as well. Should stretch out after brief cellaring.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (Oct 2012)
