Critic Reviews:
"Aromas of blackberries and spiced plums, with tea leaves, black olive, licorice and wet earth. Full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and vivid acidity. Tense and meaty with a deep core of black fruit and a spicy edge. Flavorful finish with hints of chocolate and nut shell. Drink or hold." 92/100 (James Suckling)
