90-92. Barrel sample. A powerhouse of dark tannins, this wine is black in color and dark in taste. It has bitter chocolate flavors, with notes of new wood and intense spice.

90–92. Barrel sample. Sweet wood aromas open this ripe, yet expertly balanced wine. Denseness on the palate is complemented by black-currant acidity, yielding a lively, fragrant and fresh wine that finishes with lingering, attractive fruit.
