"Inky violet. Deep cherry and cassis aromas complicated by an array of floral, mineral and herbal nuances. Powerful dark fruit flavors are firmed by solid tannins and lifted by gentle minerality. Picks up smoked meat and anise notes on the long, chewy finish. This could be a Bandol. Is the average buyer at this price point ready for this? Another amazing value." 90/100, Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar

Press reviews

Public opinion

"This is a big meaty wine. Full bore blueberry, currant and big tannins...this wine is comparible to those that cost 4-5 times as much. This will sit in the cellar for 3-5 years and drink well for 5-7. Goes well with steak, especially grilled, and hearty beef dishes. Can't believe the QPR for this wine. Amazing. Decant." Customer Review from KLWines.com 4.5/5, Paul Burt (May 09)
"There is dense fruit, with a smoky intensity to it, although it has a cherry and bramble character. It starts off in a very opulent fashion, rounded and creamy, but it shows more grip through the midpalate. There is plenty of substance here, a good tannic backbone, and a nice acidic cut too. This is impressive." 16.5/20, Wine Doctor, (February 2008)
