I really like the balance of pretty fruit and fine tannins here. Blackberries, with sweet tobacco and cherries. Licorice too. Full bodied, with round and soft tannins, and a rich and flavorful finish. So balanced and gorgeous right now, but it will be better in two or three years.

Vinous

Review Date: 05/2012
Bright ruby-red. Aromas of cassis, dark chocolate, spicecake, licorice and black olive, with a topnote of dusty herbs. Dense and fine-grained, with peppery acidity and a floral element lifting the dark berry and mineral flavors. Finishes brisk and long, with slightly spiky tannins that call for patience. Distinctive wine with excellent definition and verve. 92+ (ST)

Trim and concentrated, displaying a firm band of mineral, cedar and dried currant flavors, with a touch of cedar and graphite. Full-bodied, clamping down on the finish. (JL)
