It has density yet the tannins are so velvety and ripe. Inner quote mark (5/2012) 96 points James Suckling Outer quote mark The aromas of this are so gorgeous, with blackberries, black cherries and wet earth. Full body with super-fine tannins and bright acidity. A firm, tightly structured young red with orange peel and other citrus fruit. This is so focused and straight. Try in 2018. Inner quote mark (1/2014) 94 points Wine Spectator Outer quote mark Very deep and broad for the vintage, this sports ample toast and loam notes, showing remarkable polish and heft. A core of ganache, fig, boysenberry preserves and melted licorice waits in reserve. Offers a fleshy feel through the finish, with lingering loam and maduro tobacco details. Best from 2017 through 2032. Inner quote mark (3/2014) Shipping costs take into account ultra-protected packaging. No damage is possible during transport to your address.
