92 Points

Tuesday, December 24, 2013 - My last bottle. Color is still quite a deep ruby with little bricking even after 16 years; nose wafted out of the bottle while decanting, blackberry, black fruits, but a strong core of mint, thyme, slight vegetal, very clean, well integrated, complex; palate is medium-full bodied, great acid, still nice core of underlying fruits but above all it is approachable, flows well, tannins are structural but integrated; medium finish. This is a complex, high-acid wine, balanced, that goes well with food, at maturity, very pleasing to drink, held back only by it's finish and a bit low on fruits in the midpalate. 92
