critic reviews
94+/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Bright red-ruby. Very backward and closed on the nose, with hints of black fruits, mocha and game in the deep background. Very rich and sweet but youthfully clenched, with purple fruit, wild herb and spice flavors currently overshadowed by oak. Best today on the extremely long, rising, firmly tannic finish, which leaves behind a seductive violet perfume. Delivers a near-perfect balance of sweetness and acidity to support a graceful evolution in bottle.
