93 Stephen Tanzer - Vinous Media

"Good bright medium ruby. Superripe but lively aromas of blackberry, violet, licorice, graphite and minerals. Juicy and quite penetrating, with redcurrant and raspberry flavors framed by lively acidity and lifted by a floral element. Offers a superb combination of sweetness and solid underlying structure. Finishes very long and firmly tannic. A fascinating wine that does not taste like it comes from a hot year or a hot climate."
