Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Hart rated this wine as 100/100 with the following review:

Smooth
Starts with rubbery, intense aromas, but with breathing it settles on earthy berry fruit and oak-driven coffee. The mouth-feel is good and shows nice lemony acids, while the flavours vacillate between tangy/floral and herbal blackberry. Sweet, concentrated and rich on the finish, with a lasting wave of mocha. Score: 88 Source: Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast
