92 WSM. "This vibrant '98 has an athletic muscularity and power, the fruit still youthfully purple, still primary with scents of rose. The tannins are black and impacted, needing years to soften. For now, it's brisk and tense, meaty as prosciutto, needing something heady and rich to tame it, like the marrow in osso buco." Wine & Spirits Magazine, Apr 2005 |
