95 to 100 outstanding
Very good wine, but on this playing field it is seriously overpriced. Reserved, complex, well-integrated ripe cherry-fig fruit, with scents of dried herbs, forest floor, mineral and a touch of leather. Medium-full bodied, firm and stylish, but rather dry and tannic. Excellent length. Now to 2011. Vintages Essential.
