Wine Critic Reviews
Falstaff (93): Dark ruby with a subtly brightening rim. On the nose, initially on sealing wax and fine oak then opens up to warm-hearted aromas; blood orange, cranberry, cherry, even light watermelon in the echo. Very earthy on the palate, with resinous hints, beautiful juiciness, warm-hearted, with ripe berryish fruit, a worthy representative of its region.
