Wine Spectator 91 pts - Thomas Matthews
This silky red offers fresh fruit of plum and blackberry, with espresso and licorice notes. This is firm, bright and balanced, with a perfumed, floral finish. Drink now through 2018.

Wine Enthusiast 89 pts - Michael Schachner
Saturated and dark, with prune, dried cheese and leather on the nose. The body is full and offers good tannins to prop up chewy, baked flavors of blackberry, dark plum and chocolate. Very nice, easygoing and ready to drink now.

Description:
Dark, ruby red color. Dense bouquet combining toasted notes, tobacco and a hint of spice. Good structure with nice complexity in the mouth where mature fruit flavors give way to a touch of roasted coffee, chocolate and sweet spice. A wine full of character that reflects its noble origin. Marry with savory fish dishes, refined delicatessen products, all kinds of beef, duck, partridge, game and mature cheese.
