89-91 Rich and spicy, the wine has ripe balanced fruit, lots of juiciness. A very Merlot, jammy character.

89-91 Tought initially, although the weight of fruit is all there. The dry core spreads outwards, giving a rich, textured feel. Very firm aftertaste.

89-91 Herbaceous and fresh, the wine has a grassy character with a citrus edge, spice and grapefruit. It is lively and refreshing.

89-91 Firm and structured, plenty of bitter chocolate as well as sweet fruit. The wine is very dense, wearing its tannins on the surface. Power here, dark and firm.

89-91 Fine tannins, with plenty of juicy fruit. The wine has wonderful sweetness to go with the acidity.

89-91 A firm wine, with tight tannins, very structured, showing a mineral edge.

89-91 Solid, chunky wine, with a fine juicy element showing through in the aftertaste. It has weight, structure, a dense texture, and balance.

89-91 Smooth, opulent with tannins firmly buried in the sweet acidity. Black plum juice flavors go with the ripe fruits and just a touch of spice.

89-91 Ripe, soft fruit, the tannin right within the sweetness. It has density without weight, an opulent, ripe wine.
