Wine Spectator 92 Points

“Intriguing on the nose offering notes of blue prunes and crushed blueberries but also black cherries and summer cherries. In the background, rhubarb, peppermint and eucalyptus. Medium to full bodied on the palate, rustic tannins and an intense, well made finale. Drink now or hold.” – 93 Points, Raffaele Vecchione – WinesCritic.com
