Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2012
Bright red-ruby. Superripe aromas of black cherry, licorice, mocha, roasted herbs and earth, with some exotic oak tones that carry through onto the palate. Silky-sweet, lush and fine-grained but showing the chocolatey-ripe side of the vintage. Began a tad porty but with extended aeration this revealed deeper black raspberry and mineral flavors and increasing vibrancy. Finishes with substantial dusty, fine-grained tannins.
