Appearance: Intense vibrant purple, black colour. Bouquet: Lifted complex aromas of berry, cherry, blackcurrant fruit, chocolate and mocha with subtle integrated oak complexity of vanilla and cigar box. Palate: The palate has lashings of fruitcake, rum & raison and chocolate. The structure is very rich, thick and concentrated with a well integrated full palate and ripe complex fruit. Wine Enthusiast Epitomizes the lush, immediately approachable style, with a mouthfeel so creamy it almost seems liquorous or syrupy. The flavors are ultraclean and precise, marrying crème de cassis with vanilla and hints of coconut. Soft tannins cushion the long finish. Drink now–2012. Score: 92. —Joe Czerwinski, February 01, 2007. Wine Spectator Fresh and focused. Brims with plum and blueberry fruit, shaded by licorice and hints of smoke. Finishes round but balanced, with refreshing acidity. Best from 2008 through 2014. Score: 91. —Harvey Steiman, February 28, 2007.
