Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2014
(a blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot and petite verdot): Opaque ruby. A heady, oak-spiced bouquet evokes dark berry preserves, mocha, vanilla and woodsmoke, with a peppery nuance adding lift. Broad, palate-coating blackcurrant and cherry compote flavors show excellent depth and focus, with an exotic touch of star anise building in the glass. At once rich and lively, finishing with powerful punch, supple tannins and an echo of vanilla. (JR)
