    Critic Reviews

    88+/100
    Stephen Tanzer,
    Vinous
    Red-ruby. Reticent nose hints at blackberry, licorice, tar and pepper. Quite closed in the mouth, even a bit stunted today, but shows good underlying density. The stems here seem a bit less ripe than those of the '99, but the wine avoids rough edges. Still, this extremely unevolved wine finishes with slightly tough tannins. Vial did a 24-day cuvaison in '98, his longest to that point.
