94 AM. "Much less austere than usual with explosive and slowly maturing aromas of subtle toast, dried herbs and obvious earth notes that combine with big, robust and intense full-bodied flavors that deliver real concentration that is beginning to unfold and while this remains a distinctly textured effort, it is begining to open and develop some really lovely finishing complexity. A great effort that is still quite young but is beginning to lose some of its youthful austerity, particularly on the wonderfully long finish." Allen Meadows, Mar 08, 2008 |
