Critics Ratings
‘Ruby-red. Pungent aromas of blackberry preserves and plum, with licorice and tobacco notes adding complexity. Showing a more serious personality than it did from barrel, offering weighty dark fruit flavors and a velvety texture. Tannins build with air and add grip to the long, smoky finish. This is acting like a 2005 right now.’ - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 91/100 (Jan 2010)
