91+ ST ". . . ripe but restrained aromas of apricot and caramelly oak. Then dry and dense in the mouth, with noteworthy concentration and freshness for the vintage. This was initially dominated by vanillin oak, but a brisk pineapple flavor emerged with aeration. Finishes very long and subtle. Martin notes that this material has the power to absorb the wood, and points out that this wine always gets 100% new barriques."
