Currants and toasted oak, with coffee and chocolate on the nose. Full bodied, with very rich and thick tannins and loads of fruit. This is a big and juicy style. Some might call it blockbuster. Impressive for the genre. Give this some time to soften the slightly coarse tannins. Pull the cork after 2013. 15+23+23+32. Find the wine

Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2009
Bright ruby-red. Very ripe and aromatic nose combines cassis, blueberry and complex soil tones. Lush and pliant in the mouth, with a restrained sweetness to the nuanced flavors of dark berries, mocha, chocolate and earth. Tactile and broad wine with very good inner-palate energy. Finishes long, with a positive medicinal quality.
