2011, 90-92 points - Josh Raynolds

Glass-staining ruby. Pungent aromas of dried red fruits and potpourri, with a spicy overtone. Silky and sweet, with vibrant redcurrant and cherry flavors complemented by deeper notes of licorice, violet and black cardamom.

Closes with gentle tannic grip and very good length, leaving floral pastille and cherry compote notes behind. 90-92 points.
