Tasting note: Copper-pink with a frothy mousse. Smoky strawberry and cherry aromas are complicated by buttered toast, blood orange and dried flowers. Deep and chewy, with vivid red berry and bitter cherry flavors underscored by dusty minerals. Gains power on the broad, focused and gently nutty finish. Already complex, and ready to drink. (92pts. JR, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar)

Tasting note: Perfumed, showing pencil shavings, violet and berry notes allied to a firm, chalky profile. A little angular, but has character and good length. (89pts. BS, Wine Spectator)
