96 Points

Sunday, March 13, 2016 - From magnum. Base neck fill. Cork soaked through and broke in half getting it out. Didnt use the Durand - my bad. Decanted at 830am. Started drinking at 7pm over the next 3 hours. Not a booming nose but good one nonetheless. Violets, saddle, dark fruits. An exercise in balance, power and finesse in the mouth. Wine is fully integrated and no hard edges whatsoever. Smooth and supple yet plenty of flavor. Good acidity and great length. All in all hard to find anything not to like about this - very well made and built to last. Given this showing I'd say these have a long way to go esp from magnum. 96+
