Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Bright ruby-red. Aromas of redcurrant, bitter cherry, tobacco leaf, baking spices, smoke and nuts, plus a light herbaceousness. Sweet and moderately fleshy, with good concentration and spine. The spicy character carries through in the mouth. Juicy and firm on the back end.
