"A complex nose of licorice, earth, chocolate, and balsamic vinegar, behind which lies a beast packed with dry tannins that lend great power to the finish." (James Suckling)

A wonderful blend of wood, acidity, and alcohol with no finish whatsoever—contrary to the critics’ opinions, who must have received a few suitcases full of dollars to inflate their ratings.
