"A curious nose of wood and reductive notes introduces rich yet unusually refined middle weight flavors that are underpinned by firm but ripe tannins that possess just a trace of offsetting rusticity on the impressively persistent finish. This well-balanced effort should reward up to a decade of cellar time." -Allen Meadows

"Medium red. Highly aromatic scents of redcurrant, clove, cinnamon and dried flowers. Juicy, spicy and precise on the palate, with lovely lift and a light touch. Most impressive today on the very fine-grained, building finish, which features sweet tannins and palate-staining spice character. All about perfume." -Stephen Tanzer
