Dense and tannic, this inky purple wine possesses huge minerality, loads of black cherry, cassis and blackberry fruit, and a boatload of tannin. Powerful, full-bodied, and almost excruciatingly young, this wine needs another 5-6 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2035. Jun 2015, www.robertparker.com
Robert Parker Score: 90/100
Offers blackberry, chocolate and spice on the nose. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a lightly fruity, chocolate character on the finish. A bit short, but pretty. Best after 2010. 8,330 cases made.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2008
