90 to 94 excellent
95 to 100 outstanding
A bit reserved but complete and complex, with its well-integrated blackcurrant-cherry fruit, menthol, fine oak spice and licorice-fennel subtleties. More aging or long decanting may help the taut, tannic, hottish and earthy finish. Best 2010 to 2013. LCBO 565929
