WINE ENTHUSIAST: "This is a fruity wine, dominated by delicious black currant flavors. It has a firm background of fine, complex tannins and a fragrant, lingering aftertaste."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "This beautiful wine is consistently well-made and is again a star in 2012. Dense ruby/purple with notes of blackcurrants, blackberry and licorice, the wine is medium to full-bodied and displays moderate but ripe, integrated tannin and a judicious use of toasty oak. This beautifully textured, heady St.-Emilion should drink well for 10-15 years."

JAMES SUCKLING: "A fresh and clean wine with blueberriwa, hints of vanilla and raspberries. Some citrus too. Full body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Drink or hold."

WEINWISSER: "Halbe Ernte, 30 000 Flaschen. Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aus sen. Feinfruchtiges, dezent dropsiges Bouquet, ein Hauch Grenadine und rote Kirschen. Aromatischer Gaumen, saftige Tannine, im Innern fein kernig. Ehrlich vinifiziert, aromatischer Nachklang."

FALSTAFF: "Rubingranat. Schöne fruchtbetonte Nase, Sauerkirsche, dunkle Beeren. Am Gaumen fein und elegant, stylish, sehr feine Tannintextur und gute Struktur. Guter Abgang."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Soft, ripe, sweet and easy drinking, with silky tannins, forward in style, ending with a ripe, dark cherry and licorice finish."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Offers a polished feel, with caressing plum, boysenberry and cherry preserves flavors that stay bright and pure through the anise- and fruitcake-laced finish. A real crowd-pleaser, but with enough spine to stay honest. Drink now through 2022. 2,750 cases made."
