"A zesty version, with grip to the densely packed dark fruit and Asian spice flavors. Hints of dried juniper berry linger on the crisp finish." ~ Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator, 92 points
"Dark berry aromas meet with turned loam on the nose of this rich bottling. The palate is bold with blackberry, cola and oak-spice flavors, leading into a nutmeg-kissed baked-fruit finish." — Matt Kettmann, 92 Points Wine Enthusiast
