92-94 VM.
“Bright, dark red. Lovely violet lift to the aromas of red and darker berries and chocolate. Juicy, fine-grained and penetrating if a bit youthfully unforthcoming today. Shows an almost medicinal quality and pepper and herb accents (no doubt largely from the stems) to its black cherry fruit. Terrific intensity and class here, and very long and classically dry on the finish.” Vinous, Jan 2017 |
