Burghound.com/Allen Meadows 89/100: "An overtly pepper-inflected nose is comprised by notes of both red and dark currant aromas that are laced with plenty of earth character. The delicious and vibrant flavors possess moderate density before terminating in a youthfully austere bitter pit fruit nuance. While this could age, it's rich enough to enjoy young if desired".
