Very enticing, with aromas of freshly crushed raspberry and blackberry backed by subtle vanilla, mineral and cocoa powder shadings. The long, incense-tinged finish is supple. Delicious. Drink now. 3,000 cases imported. 90 points James Molesworth for the Wine Spectator, Online 2009.
Bright red-ruby. Very ripe aromas of blackberry, graphite, mocha and licorice. Plush and seamless, with an almost liqueur-like sweetness giving this wine substantial early appeal. A bit warmer and less gripping than the 2006, though. 89 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 10.
