Spice and toast notes give this wine an exotic luscious feel that balances the firm tannins. It is well-made, ripe and sweet to the finish.——R.V.(9/1/2004)—— 88

Aromas of roses and hedgerow fruits make this an attractive wine. To taste, it is savory, with ripe fruits that are balanced by solid tannins. A layer of dryness suggests this could age—give it five years before opening. ——R.V.(11/1/2002)—— 88
