The silky tannins, sweet red and black fruits, and the big, perfumed nose of black fruits, flowers and white chocolate are followed by a full-bodied, remarkably concentrated wine that is a steal at this price point. Both of these should drink well for 5-6 years.\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t-\u003cu\u003eWine Advocate (Issue 201, June 2012)\u003c\/u\u003e, \u003cb\u003e93 pts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cfont face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\"\u003e\"\u003c\/font\u003eBright ruby-red. Pure aromas of redcurrant, black cherry, licorice and minerals lifted by sexy oak. Suave, sweet and fine-grained if a bit youthfully unforthcoming today. Harmonious acidity, an element of minerality and a cool suggestion of herbs energize the middle palate. Finishes broad and long, with sweet tannins and noteworthy finesse.
