Score 87/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Dark ruby-red. Perfumed aromas of bitter cherry, crushed blackberry, smoked meat, roast coffee and blood. Juicy and youthful, with a firm core of spicy, sappy fruit. Not superconcentrated but supple and nicely balanced. Finishes with firm, even tannins and a slight dryness. Became increasingly oaky with aeration.
