Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2012

(blended with 10% each merlot and cabernet franc; 15.2% alcohol): Good full ruby. Blueberry, candied cassis, sexy oak and a touch of minerality on the nose. Nicely concentrated, fine-grained and supple, with a slightly exotic quality to the dark berry and dark chocolate flavors. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and very good length. Needs some time in bottle but this is already more pliant than the Sainte Fumee.
