92+ ST.
"Deep red. Rather musky aromas of cherry, roasted coffee and sexy oak. Thick, large scaled and powerful; chewy and layered. Spicy red fruit shows an almost exotic aspect. Extremely young and destined for a long development in bottle. Big finish features rich, ripe tannins and notes of clove and smoke. This may ultimately surpass the outstanding '95."
