James Suckling (97)

The aromas alone—macerated cherry, plum, menthol, leather, licorice, black pepper and mineral—are worth the price of admission here. Slowly beginning to unfold, this red is still firm and less expressive on the palate, with the addition of oak spice notes. Nevertheless, this is complex, long and sophisticated, with a great future ahead.

Very mature on the nose showing notes of strawberries, red prunes, sweet caramel, sour cherries, figs, dates and pine sap. In the background notes of eucalyptus, flowering geraniums, cumin and star of anice describe the secondary scene. Medium to full bodied, rigid tannins, decidedly biting and vibrant and a finale of notable progression showing tension and length.
