Critics Ratings

'Wonderful aromas of licorice, crushed blackberry and mineral. Full-bodied, with very well-integrated tannins and vanilla, berry and aniseed flavors. Has a long, long finish.' - Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Mar 2008)

'Good ruby-red. Rich plummy aroma. Deep and chewy if a bit youthfully sullen, with sweet flavors of redcurrant, mocha and tobacco. Finishes with chewy tannins. Distinctly fatter than the 2006 but a bit less chocolatey and dark in its flavor presentation.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (May 2008)

'Tasted blind. Very fragrant and winning. Dense, with coffee notes. Mint too. Ambitious. Dry tannins and just a bit dead on the end but very sincere.' - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Feb 2017)
