10/18/2014 - towinelover wrote: 91 pointsSmooth and sweet tannins, no over-ripe fruits; wonderful blend of meat, smoke and pepper. Perfect with grilled lamb chops. Sad that this was the last of the case. Followed this with a 2011 Chimeres that also rated 92 from RP but was far more jammy and had no elegance in comparison. |
