Ruby red color with rich and intense tones. Variety of aromatic herbs accentuated with generous notes of tobacco and wet earth (dry earth, as well), black currant and licorice. The palate manifests good consistency of medium-smooth tannins to ensure the lengthy ageing. Rich structure and weight and elegant breed on the finish. Optimum cellar life in all vintages.
92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
92 Points - Falstaff, November 2006. "Sparkling, rich ruby; very clear but somewhat cool, reserved nose, smells of violets, a little of plums, fine liquorice notes; extremely juicy in the beginning and aftertaste, lots of fresh blackberry fruit, lots of grippy tannins in the back, long finish."
90 Points - Wine Spectator, October 2006.
