94+ ST. "Medium red. Deep, expressive, vibrant nose offers raspberry, cherry, smoky minerality, mocha and spices, plus a whiff of tobacco. Fat, silky and very rich; a real fruit bomb in the mouth but with superb sappy depth. Most impressive today on the very long, palate-staining finish, which features superb lift and ripe tannins that coat the front teeth. This will be long-lived." Vinous, Mar 2012 |
