Nicely concentrated and structured. A great deal of power, but also posesses some finesse. The fruit is lively and dark with blueberry and blackberry followed by a hint of wood. The finish is long and smooth. 95 points.

Liked this wine quite a bit. Ripe plum, graphite, and a hint of tobacco. Low acidity, nice finish, and tannins which could use some time. Moderate to high concentration and nice balance.

Insanely great. Brooding and loaded with blackberry and cherry--a nice combination of black and red fruit--followed by tannins that need some time to integrate fully. The finish goes on and on. Another great wine from Russell From.
