"Dark ruby. Explosively fragrant aromas of strawberry, raspberry, blackberry and blackcurrant, with seductive incense and spice accents along with notes of vanilla bean, lavender, black pepper and red licorice. Offers a stunning display of sweet red and dark fruits on the palate, with great concentration and purity of flavor. At once chewy and velvety, with a roundness made possible by lush, harmonious tannins. Pungent floral notes come up on the finish, which is sweet, deep and impressively long. 93 points" - Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
