93 ST. "Inky purple. Pure, intense aromas of blackberry, cassis and Indian spices on the nose, complicated by notes of vanilla and mocha. Bright, juicy dark berry flavors display superb purity and freshness, with tangy minerality providing lift and focus. Powerful but finely balanced cabernet, with no rough edges or excess fat. Finishes sweet and extremely long, with persistent dark berry and cherry compote flavors and fully absorbed tannins." Vinous, May 2013 |
