Review

"A mentholated top note is present on the wonderfully broad-ranging nose of notably ripe cassis, black raspberry, violet, crushed fennel and all but invisible oak hints. There is superb concentration to the big-bodied and intense flavors that coat the palate with dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the exceptionally firm tannins shaping the brilliantly persistent and fantastically complex finale. This compact effort is packed with development potential and should ultimately mature into one of the great vintages for this storied wine. In a word, brilliant." - 98pts, Burghound
