Wine Advocate
Reviews 94 points Wine Advocate "...comes from a vineyard that forms an amphitheater, from a plot with clay-rich soils that have a tendency to produce fine wines. The 100% full clusters fermented in concrete vats and indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in used 500-liter oak barrels for 12 months. This wine always has more tannin, it has a longer maceration and it ferments with all the stems. There is more potential, concentration, depth and seriousness, a wine for the long haul. (LG)" 90 points John Gilman "...This bottling has the most overt botanical notes of these single vineyards, but not in a bad way by any means, as it offers up a very complex bouquet of dark berries, a myriad of fresh herb tones, pepper, volcanic soil and a bit of roasted meats. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, complex and ripely tannic, with great transparency, an impressive core of fruit and a long, youthful and promising finish... (JG)"
