Wine Spectator 91
Refined, with well-meshed acidity providing a backbone for delicate flavors of dried currant, graphite, green plum, meringue and grapefruit zest. Fresh, smoke-tinged finish.
by AN, Wine Spectator , 2012
Washington Post ★★
Raspberries, strawberries, currants - any sort of red fruit you can think of seems to flow from the glass.

Wine Advocate 90
A particularly good value.
