93 Points

Sunday, November 30, 2014 - Beautiful Bordeaux full body with some purple color and dark glistening garnet and long tears. Nose of dark red fruits, with espresso, bloody steak, gentle spice box. Palate has flesh espresso roast, loads of dark fruits, pinch overextracted if thats possible in this vintage, with round tannins for the long haul spicy red currants medium finish. It has the chops to become something very exciting. Had this side by side with the 2005 and the latter seemed to have harsher tannins and require a longer time to coalesce. 93-95
