Wine Advocate
Reviewed February 2014Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2009 Astralis presents a very fruity, floral nose with lifted notes of blueberries. The palate is concentrated with a slight prune character and has very crisp acidity. At this stage the phenolics are showing a little chewy before finishing long. (LPB)

James Suckling
Volatile spring weather and an uneven fruit set with a warm, early summer. The nose has aromas of forest wood, earthy notes and dry spices with blueberries and blackberries on offer. The palate has a thread of black tea-like flavor with essence-like concentration of dark plum. The tannins are slightly raised.

Wine Spectator
Dense and focused, with pickle and dill overtones layered around a rich core of black plum, licorice and white chocolate flavors, lingering expressively against nubby tannins. Has presence and persistence. (HS)
