Score 87/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Moderately saturated medium red. Superripe aromas of strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant; can't hide the slightly cooked vintage character. Dense and ripe, but with somewhat muddy, jammy flavors and only modest nuance. Finishes with soft, ripe, slightly dry tannins.
