The top wine from Weninger, this is a hugely rich, wood-aged wine that has smooth toast, licorice and herb flavors, which sustain the complex structure of tannins and the juicy, black-currant-like acidity. This needs to age for 4–5 years and more. — (12/31/2012) —93

This is Weninger’s top wine, an impressive array of spice, black berry fruit, dusty tannins and layers of wood and acidity. There is weight and restrained power here, a dark structure. Age 5-6 years. ——R.V.(3/1/2011)—— 94

A highly perfumed wine from old vines, aged for 24 months in wood. The tannins are dusty, with wood very present but not overwhelming the fruit. It is rich and structured, but also sophisticated and elegant, with final ripe black fruits showing well.——R.V.(3/1/2010)—— 94
