92+ST
"(56% Merlot 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% Petit Verdot): Bright ruby-red. Very complex aromas of briary dark berries, minerals and resiny herbs; less obviously ripe than the 2009, which I retasted next to this bottle. Spicy and light on its feet; not a fleshy style but boasts a fine-grained texture with lovely lift to the dark berry, clove and nutmeg flavors. The gripping finish features firm-edged tannins that will require extended aging. In a shell today. (I scored the 2009 Reserve Claret 93, as I did back in Issue 162.)"
