93+ ST. "Red-ruby. Deep, primary aromas of black raspberry, mocha, violet and roasted game. Powerful attack, then very concentrated, juicy and intensely flavored. A wine of great thrust; almost painful today. Explosive, extremely persistent aftertaste saturates the palate with soil tones. Strong but sweet tannins are supported by sheer extract. Finishing notes of crystallized berries." Vinous, Mar 1999 |
