critic reviews
91-94/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Dark ruby-red color. Superripe, liqueur-like aromas of black cherry and minerals; as in most recent vintages, more exotic than the Brulees at this early stage. Denser, lusher and more obviously sweet in the mid-palate, but with excellent cut. Then distinctly tougher and more austere on the back end, finishing a bit muscular and clenched. Both this and the Brulees really beg for six or seven years of cellaring.
