Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2011

Red-ruby. Bright aromas of cherry, chocolate and menthol. Fat and sweet on entry, with some very ripe notes, but also a slight green quality, to the flavors of cherry, licorice and herbs. A wine of moderate depth. Finishes with notes of bitter chocolate and tar. CHECK VINTAGE??

Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Bright ruby-red. Aromatic nose of black cherry, redcurrant, tobacco, licorice, earth and hot stones. Dense, sweet and smoky; broad but not especially filled in or deep. Finishes with a slightly roasted quality. Could use a bit more delineation and freshness.
