?Deep ruby-red. Complex and inviting aromas of black raspberry, woodsmoke, licorice, peppery herbs and clove. Large-scaled, lush and broad; full-blown but not overripe, with good energy and definition. This compellingly sweet and concentrated wine really saturates the palate with dark berry, mineral, pepper, chocolate, cocoa and licorice flavors. As ripe as it is, its sheer pliancy gives it elegance. The ripe tannins spread out to dust the entire palate. This wonderfully nuanced wine may always remain agreeable.? 93-95 points, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 11
