93 VM. "Deep, saturated purple. Explosive aromas of blackberry preserves, creme de cassis, high-fat chocolate, espresso, molasses and candied flowers. Sweet, spicy flavors of blackcurrant and cherry preserves show outstanding concentration and focus, along with jaw-dropping clarity. Wonderfully lush and silky wine, with remarkable purity and vibrancy of fruit flavor. Endless finish features luscious but focused blackberry flavor and harmonious tannins." Vinous, Jul 2006 |
