Huge and concentrated, this is packed with dense tannins. The opulent black fruit shows a sumptuous character, balanced by a mineral-driven texture. With its great weight and its firm structure, this needs to age for at least six years. — (3/1/2013) —91

An intensely black-colored wine, with dark, smoky tannins to match. It does have a juicy, ripe sweet berry fruit element, laying under the surface tannins. With this power, it needs several years to develop. ——R.V.(3/1/2011)—— 90
