85 Points

Friday, November 5, 2021 - Deep ruby with clear hints of brown at the rim. Sweet nose dominated by plums, almost on a rasiny side, but also some flower tones and minerals (ash/wet cigarettes). Full bodied, sweet attack, lots of plummy fruit, very dry, almost harsh tannins, sweet, plummy fruit on the finish. An almost brutal wine that just manages to balance the flabby fruit and the dry tannins. The warm vintage shines clearly through. 85-86
