“Inky ruby. Intensely perfumed nose offers a seductive array of red berry and cherry scents, with garrigue and anise nuances adding complexity. Palate-staining raspberry and cherry flavors are deep and strikingly pure, carrying through on the long, spicy finish. There's serious, youthful grip here but more than ample fruit to keep things in balance.” - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 08 90-92 points
