Eric Guido Likes this wine: 95 points
February 9, 2019 - I have hopes for the ‘96, although it scares me, like many of them often do, since its tannins seem to be outliving its fruit. Only time with tell. The nose was dark, showing polished black fruits with haunting blue florals, crushed stone and a dusting of savory spice. On the palate, I found silky textures, which were quickly firmed up by a mix of acid and still-youthful tannin, as lean, almost savory black fruits and minerals cascaded across the senses. The finish was long, yet structured and dry, as fine tannin saturated and echoes of crunchy black fruits lingered.
