92 VM. "Full red-black color. Opulent, concentrated aromas of fresh dark cherry, raspberry, cassis, dark chocolate and treacle, with a distinctive undercurrent of black pepper. Creamy and long, with densely packed, sharply focused flavors of dark plum and berry fruit, cedar, chocolatey new oak, leather and asphalt. Comes across as surprisingly fine and elegant despite its sheer weight and concentration." Vinous, Jul 2002 |
