Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2008
(16.8% alcohol) Medium red-ruby. Cherry liqueur, mocha and coffee aromas, enlivened by floral and camphor notes. Supersweet and creamy, with rather high-toned cherry and spice flavors reminiscent of grenache. A rather powerful and unrefined style, finishing with substantial tannins and a note of cherry cough medicine. This one needs a year or so in bottle.
