Rating: 93-96 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 130, January/February 2007 Opaque ruby. Explosive aromas of blackberry, creme de cassis, boysenberry, licorice, violet oil and graphite are flat-out hypnotic. Outsized and sweet, with powerful dark berry liqueur flavors, intense floral pastille and mineral accents and silky tannins. Supple, deep and expansive on the compellingly long finish.
