"Here too strong reduction and enough wood to notice render the nose problematic to read. There is excellent verve to the attractively textured and lightly mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that exhibit excellent intensity and detail on the long, bone dry and strikingly persistent finish. This is terrific."

"Reticent nose hints at red berries. Tight, dry and backward, opening grudgingly in the glass to show notes of pear, stone, mace and anise. Shows an exotic aspect but a strong mineral underpinning keeps it light on its feet. Finishes dry and long. As always, an ageworthy wine with a distinctive personality."
