Score 94+/100 · Drink 2020-2036, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Apr 2015
(14.8% alcohol): Bright ruby-red. Pungent, high-pitched aromas of dark berries, spices and eucalyptus are complicated by an exotic suggestion of stone fruits. Densely packed, primary and fine-grained, conveying an impression of sappy energy to its intense black raspberry, spice and mint flavors. Impeccably balanced from the start but this extremely long, tactile, firmly tannic wine needs time in bottle to deliver on its enormous potential.
