"Inky in color, the wine is equally deep on the palate with layers of dark berries, plum, blackberries, smoke, menthol and cassis. Full-bodied, powerful, yet balanced and polished. The 15.8% alcohol is there, but there is so much fruit, the heat is quite subtle. This is gorgeous today and will be even better with age. The wine was made from blending 81% Syrah, 8% Petite Sirah, 6% Mourvedre, 4% Touriga Nacional and 1% Graciano." - 98/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
