93 AM. "A deftly wooded nose surrounds the ripe aromas of cassis, natural spice, warm earth and violets. There is an opulent mouth feel to the pure and palate coating flavors that brim with an impressive reserve of dry extract before terminating in a long and saline-infused finish. This is robust but not rustic or austere and should reward longer-term cellaring." Allen Meadows, Jan 15, 2014 |
