REVIEW: 95PTS - Cherry, strawberry, spice and perfume, a little coffee bean earthiness. It’s light but firm, all red fruit with a spicy and earthy character, fine graphite tannin, cool acidity, some orange peel and fennel, almost a little bit of a Barbaresco feel to it (but don’t mind me), with a long and spicy finish. It’s very good, and looked better after being open for a day (Gary Walsh - The Wine Front)
