Jancis Robinson
Extremely inviting. Ripe fruit and intense mocha aroma and fully spiced. Thick and full in the mouth, the deepest pile tannins of the wines tasted in this flight but very smooth. Rich and voluptuous and dense with no hint of overripeness of fruit or harshness of tannin and just enough freshness. Unexpectedly delicious and hedonistic though less elegance and finesse than the rest of the flight. Chewy and mouthfilling and fragrant on the finish with a warmth at the very end. 18/20 Points (JH) (6/2009)
