89 Points

Sunday, February 8, 2009 - Still youthful, deep ruby with a hint of purple. Cork could have easily passed for a 2 year old bottle. No rim variation . Nose is straightforward and medium (-) intensity licorice, blackberry, currant, a bit of graphite and underbrush.
Medium acid, medium body, medium intensity. It's very very good but the balance is not quite right. Similar to the nose, this is pretty straightforward. Not a great or lengthy finish, but the flavors are excellent, and this drinks very well. A very enjoyable if a bit mild and simple bordeaux.
