Very exuberant, very juicy, very alcoholic, slighly weird coulis de cassis fruit style, but this will probably calm down and it can offer real value. Rating: 89? L&S (Apr 2011)

Good red-ruby. Expressive aromas of black cherry, blackberry, smoked meat, licorice and herbs. Suave and supple, with ripe, harmonious acidity giving lift to the dark raspberry and licorice flavors. Rich and lush but has the energy and firm tannic support to give definition to its flavors. Rating: 88 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Jul 2013)
(85% merlot, 10% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon) Good, full ruby. Intense aromas of raspberry, graphite, exotic spices and vanilla. Soft and ripe in the mouth, but with good floral lift to the concentrated, ripe black fruit and chocolate flavors. Made in a rather powerful style, but a bit blurry on the back end from the alcohol and the oak. The broad, moderately long finish shows considerable tannins and a hint of dark chocolate. Rating: 87-90 Ian d'Agata, www.vinousmedia.com (May 2011)
Blackberry and hints of vanilla on the nose. Full, with fresh tannins and bright acidity. Clean and ultra fine. Rating: 90-91 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Apr 2011)
