Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (83): Charred wood aromas and heavily spiced flavors give this full-bodied wine an artificial expression. Clove, cinnamon, liquid smoke and charcoal flavors dominate.

James Suckling (N/A): Ripe blackberries, plums, cedar, cooking spices and nutshells on the nose. Rich and intense, with a full body and succulent fruit. Slightly raisiny at the end, with a toasty finish.
