90 Points
Saturday, March 24, 2012 - No decant but opened 2 - 1/2 hours before drinking. Tonight with steaks. Dark, almost opaque purple color. Mineral & fresh dark fuit nose. Seems like classic Graves with lead pencil, cedar, rare meat and mineral driven flavors combines with dark cherry. Medium bodied. Focused, tight, balanced and fresh but very very youthfully primary and tanic. Didn't move a whole lot over the evening and could be closing down. Paid $80 and would have prefered to be buying this for around $50 -$60. OTOH, could be worth every penny of the $80 spent after 10 -15yrs of btl age. Call it a solid 90pt wine as it drinks, right now.
