92 RP. "an inky/dark purple/garnet, and notes of road tar, camphor, truffles, blackberry liqueur, figs, and incense, it is a wild, exotic, thick-textured offering that is clearly more Amarone than dry table wine. This is not for everybody (especially those incapable of thinking “outside the box”), but it is unquestionably an impeccably well-made example of a completely different stylistic spin on Syrah. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it last for a couple of decades." Wine Advocate #184, Aug 2009 |
