Tasting Notes

Medium-weight, with mulled plum, black tea and spice notes, all backed by a hint of anise on the finish. Drink now through 2012.

Score: 87

James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2011-2012 31 May 2011

Abundant aromas of forest floor, underbrush, earth, black cherry, black currant and a distinctive spicy character emerge from this attractive 2008. Although not one of the most concentrated wines of the vintage, it is well-balanced and distinctive. It will provide pleasure over the next 10-15 years.

Score: 88

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2011-2026 01 May 2011

Distinctive wild flowers nose. Well balanced. Quite chewy. Polished and interesting. Neat and tight. Very dry finish. Real life here! Though, as usual, quite marked acidity. Not for those who seek opulence.

Score: 16 - 17
