“Inky ruby. Utterly hypnotic heady bouquet of red and dark berry preserves, cherry-cola, violet, incense and minerals; this has to be one of the most alluring bouquets of any wine I tasted on this year's trip. Suave, mineral-drenched red fruit flavors stain the palate, picking up licorice and bitter chocolate qualities with air. Finishes with excellent juicy persistence and a strong whiplash of candied violet and cola.” - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 09 93 points
