91 VM. "Aged for 11 months in new French oak: Bright ruby-red. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes dark berries, vanilla, Asian spices and potpourri. Sappy, penetrating black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors are braced by a refreshing bitter note of blood orange and pick up a smoky nuance with air. Finishes sweet and very long, with lingering spiciness and fine-grained, harmonious tannins." Vinous, Sep 2013 |
