Wine Spectator - 90 Points
"Black cherry and blackberry flavors are framed by smoky chocolate oak in this modern red, which is taut and focused, with firm tannins and bright acidity. Drink now through 2012. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 10,000 cases imported. –TM" Wine Spectator

Nose has an initial dominant notes of black fruits, violets and liquorice followed by the underlying spicy notes of barrel ageing - vanilla and clove.
