The depth and dimension of this wine are extraordinary and so are its aromas of plum, fresh berry, exotic spice, resin, pine forest, vanilla, bramble and chopped herb. These many nuances blend together to form a complex, balanced whole backed by solid structure and good intensity of flavors. The wine undergoes long maceration on the grape skins and ages two years in oak barrel.——M.L.(12/1/2007)—— 90

The wine opens with dark concentration and segues into aromas of red fruit, peppermill, resin, pine, rhubarb and smoked ham. The exotic, almost spicy, flavors are very attractive as are its dusty tannins.——M.L.(12/1/2007)—— 89
