James Suckling
This shows dark fruit, Mediterranean herbs and a touch of leather. The palate is plush, with lots of sweet fruit character and mouth-coating yet lustrous tannins. Creamy with a long, persistent, flavorful finish.
-
Wine Spectator
Vanilla, licorice, dried mint, incense and tar notes offer a fragrant overtone to flavors of black raspberry, blackberry, dried fig and iron. This medium- to full-bodied red is refreshed by lively acidity and structured by lightly chalky tannins.
-
Decanter
Aromatic sweet herb nose with ripe dark red fruits and spicy nuances. Warm in the mouth, with nicely defined fruit.
