97 Points

Tuesday, July 2, 2013 - I liked the wine more this time - the colour is just amazing, inky, dark purple, almost black. Just a touch lighter towards the rim. Nose was a bit muted after pouring, but opened up impressively over 40 minutes in the glass. Layers of dark, sweet fruit, cherries, blackcurrant, dark berries, smoke and pencil shavings. Amazing. Powerful, big, with great grip and firm but well integrated tannins, mouthwatering acidity. Extremely long and persistent. The main reason for my higher rating is how seamless and superbly balanced this wine was showing this time despite the panoply of bold flavours. This will be absolutely amazing with quite a bit more bottle age.
