Score 86-89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jan 2005

Full medium ruby. Very dark aromas of cassis, blackberry, violet and licorice. Bright and tightly wound, even a bit musclebound today, with black fruit and licorice flavors. Possesses substantial tannins but appears to have enough balancing sweetness. May be better than it's showing today.

CS. This is the polar opposite of the wine above – very cool and introvert with a neat, cool finish. Long term, stylish wine. (JR)
