Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: 92 points

Very good deep ruby-red. Vibrant, slightly floral aroma of black cherry, cranberry, minerals, tobacco, nutmeg and black olive. Thick but bright in the mouth; has a sappy sweetness, but brisk acidity and a firm mineral underpinning give the fruit excellent clarity of flavor. Finishes firmly tannic and very long. Very strong juice.
