"Bright medium ruby. Musky espresso and cassis on the rather oaky nose. Densely packed, sweet and oaky, with a sappy black cherry flavor. Richer and chewier than the merlot but conveys an attractive light touch. The dry finish features serious, building, chewy tannins and a note of cocoa powder. 89 points" - Stephen Tanzer, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
