87/100Robert Parker,Robert Parker Wine Advocate
This is an elegant, somewhat oaky effort, but there is plenty of substance underneath the veneer of wood. Deep ruby/purple, with a nose of licorice, black currants, and a hint of mushrooms, this smoky, complex, seductive wine can be enjoyed now and over the next ten years.

Red-ruby. Sappy, fruit-driven aromas of cherry and raspberry. Sweet, supple and rather easygoing; suggests gentle extraction. Offers good intensity and should give early pleasure. Finishes with smooth tannins and very good length.
