Score 92-94/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jan 2012

Good deep red-ruby. Mocha, spices and earth on the nose, with suggestions of very ripe fruit; lower-toned than the Clos Saint-Denis. Round, layered and broad in the mouth, showing impressive volume leavened by a strong cardamom spiciness. Can't match the Clos Saint-Denis today for lift but this sexy wine is still a baby. Tannins are thoroughly buffered by mid-palate stuffing.

Polished and beautifully balanced even it's just slightly timid. Pretty mighty though. Opulent fruit. (JR)
