93 Points
Saturday, September 7, 2013 - Saturday Night Double Blind, $40+ (Bin 75): Bright dull ruby; pretty nose of roses and candied red fruit; sweet red fruit with a great underpinning of minerality, structure coming together (needed more airtime), sexy yet taut, sour cherry, plush with a hint of the new oak on the finish; really tasty; 92-93.

I'm jealous you got some. Being more on the hedonistic side now the candied fruit and oak should tone down with more age. The balance makes this a great candidate to age gracefully for probably as long as you'd like to cellar it. Keep me posted on it.
