87/B
Tasted by Mike Supple - 10 Mar 2009
Deep ruby core and rim. Bright ripe cherry and roasted plum aromas are surrounded by warm caramel, chocolate and a hint of sage. Ripe fruit on the front palate with lush black cherry and plum dominating. The fruit drops a bit on the mid-palate as tannins build. Blackberry and baking spices come in on the finish.

91/A-
Tasted by Mike Supple - 13 Feb 2009
Dark ruby core with a tiny garnet rim. Sweet black and red cherry fruits lurk under bright, expressive wild flowers, a touch of sage and ripe plum. Chalky and bold tannins support the body of the wine. A core of dark chocolate, earth and minerals are surrounded by sweet black cherry and plums. Chewy and full-bodied with a long, lingering mocha finish.
