93 pts James Suckling/Robert Parker.  Marasca cherry meets ripe plum in a gutsy,full-bodied package. On the palate there is ample fruit,freshness and quite a bit of body: the tannins are boldbut countered by so much fruit that they attain an almostmocha-vanilla sweetness and come across and smoothon the dense, full body. The finish is warming and rounded,a mouthful of big, fruity exuberance that keeps its mojofor quite a number of years.
