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.
95 Points - Falstaff, January 2010. "Bright, intense ruby. Very dense and compact nose, earthy notes, opens with notes of ripe blackberries and plums. Ripe, juicy berry fruit, dense tannins, salty, builds up in many layers, goes wonderfully deep, very long finish."
95 Points - Wine Spectator, October 2009.
