90 Points

Sunday, October 23, 2011 - Slight bricking, lighter red with brown hue; cherry; strawberry, cherry, tobacco, tanin light, lighter weight, slight pucker. After four hour decant time it started to drink well. Noticeable improvement on the half left in the bottle and deanted the next day for four hours. Give this substatial air time if you are opening 2011-2013. It is drinking well now so you wouldn't be sacrificing it by opening. However, it is likely to improve over the next 2 to 3 years and continue to hold well beyond 2014. A smooth wine.
