Score 89+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2006

Medium red. Aromas of blackberry, minerals, licorice and fresh herbs; showed a torrefaction quality as it opened in the glass. Broad, rich and chocolatey but not overly sweet, with flavors of cherry pit, cola and minerals. Conveys an impression of solid extract but comes across as rather backward and tight today, owing to its mineral component and its firm acids and tannins.

Cask sample. Some really interesting top notes on a lovely, seductive, sweet, fruity base with enough acidity. Lots there. (JR)
