96 Points

Sunday, December 1, 2013 - Purple in color. 13.5% ABV. As this was poured into the decanter aromas of earth, stone, violets, pencil, leather and cherry literally filled the room. I could have stopped right here and just smelled the wine for the rest of the night. Perfectly balanced, silky, complex and elegant. Plum, cherry, tobacco, currant, and cassis on the palate. Suave and silky tannins on the incredibly long finish. Gorgeous wine right now but I will save my last few bottles to drink over the next 4-6 years. Simply a triumph from a great vintage on the Right Bank.
