91 Points

Saturday, August 18, 2018 - This shows a light-ish, candied, currant nose straight out of the bottle and really requires half an hour to pull itself together into a drier, plummy, more substantial wine now accented by leather and loam. A touch of cedar and a hint of brett keep it from being overly simple, but it's lacking the complexity one might hope for in top old claret. Not one of the top 61s, but lots of 61 character in its sweet disposition. 91-92
