92 Points

Wednesday, January 14, 2015 - From .375. Classic and lovely nose, if a bit reticent at first. Spot-on and classically rendered, cool cabernet fruit, cassis, dark fruits. Very intense and deep. The nose began to open with some air and the palate tightened up at the same time. Definite tannins that still need to be resolved. This is very good now, and it is easy to see the potential. However, it is years away from prime time and full development of the complexity I am sure will develop, even in this format. Back to the cellar! (90 - 92 now, but with huge upside potential.)
