96 Points

Wednesday, May 4, 2016 - This really showed its class and pedigree tonight and was clearly the best wine of all the fine 86's and '96's we drank. Still an infant but it is revealing enough to be enjoyable tonight with a long decant. Exquisite texture akin to liquid granite given its chiseled intensity and precision. Delicious flavors of black fruits, graphite and smoky minerals lead to a penetrating finish with fantastic depth and sleekness. Very fine and deeply layered with a wonderful graphite and mineral complexity just beginning to develop. 96+
