What Neil Martin for ROBERT PARKER says about Book XVII
It has a super-ripe crème de-cassis, fruitcake and fig scented bouquet with a palate that is ostentatious. This full-bodied turbo-charged wine is so damn silky smooth and seductive in a super-Tuscan kind of way, that its charms will be near impossible to resist. I found this to be a big, powerful, quite alcoholic wine that is more reminiscent of some cult Napa Valley wines
