Robert Parker
"Deep garnet-purple in color, it boldly leaps from the glass with a presence of crème de cassis notes, blueberry tart and baking spice scents with a touch of chocolate box and potpourri. Full, rich and opulent, it has a chewy texture and tons of spicy fruit on the tip of the tongue, a fruity finish." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Lisa Perrotti-Brown)
