90 pts. "Opaque violet color. Blackcurrant, dark chocolate, cocoa powder, cola, licorice and sexy oak on the nose. Smooth, ripe and sappy, with alluring sweetness nicely balanced and energized by harmonious acidity. Concentrated and sweet, but without any suggestion of heaviness. Finishes long and spicy, with firm but ripe tannins. This would be interesting to taste next to some high-end Napa wines. 90 points" - Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 10
