Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2012
(16.3% alcohol, with a pH of 3.26!): Bright violet. Sexy dark berry aromas are complemented by notes of candied flowers and spicecake, plus an exotic touch of apricot. Lush, palate-staining blackberry and mulberry flavors show unlikely vivacity and delicacy, gaining spiciness with air. Closes with excellent clarity and cut, leaving sappy dark berry and floral notes behind.
