96 Points

Friday, February 21, 2014 - Showing almost no age, bought on release and stored well since. As soon as the cork was pulled, it had an amazing nose. While difficult to leave, it was decanted for 2 hours and it just started to sing. Not shy with red and black fruits, anise, cassis, pencil lead and just a touch of herbs. Very rich, complex palate with layers of flavor. It starts with the black fruits, adds some raspberry, anise, cassis, a hint of dried herbs, thick and rich. Ends with a long, silky smooth finish. Not heat in this amazingly balanced wine. Over the 5 hours that the bottle lasted, it just kept getting better. Not sure if it is at its peak, it may improve with time, but certainly can age for year to come. Glad I still have a few more bottles for the future.
