Score: 91 JG.
". . . there is a lot to like here as well in its complex bouquet of black cherries, cassis, cigar smoke, lovely, gravelly soil tones and a touch of residual bell pepper still in residence in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, suave and beautifully balanced, with a very good core, fine focus, moderate tannins and lovely length and grip on the classy finish. Good juice . . ."
