Robert Parker (96)

Fabulous nose of blackberry liqueur intermixed with blackberry, smoke, a touch of bacon, and some floral notes, this wine reveals aromatic nuances. The wine is phenomenally thick, rich, and as good as Shiraz can be in either the New or the Old World. There is no doubt there is a luxurious wealth of fruit, glycerin, and mass to a wine that is also remarkably well-balanced.

Deep, dark and juicy, this is a dense wine with crisp acidity to balance the solid blackberry, spice and hints of dill on the jazzy finish. Has a distinctive personality and impressive length--there's nothing else quite like it.
