". . . truly outstanding on both the nose and palate and showed a lot more potential longevity . . . . The nose on this lovely wine is decidedly old school in its mélange of red and black cherries, Rutherford dust, cigar wrapper, fresh herb tones, a touch of graphite and a lovely base of cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and completely à point, with an excellent core of fruit, a fine signature of soil, modest remaining tannins and superb length and grip on the complex and beautifully focused finish. Here there are no issues with uncovered wood tannins on the backend and this very fine wine still has plenty of life ahead of it. High class juice that my last note simply did not do justice!"
