89(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , July/August 2012

Full ruby-red.  Brooding aromas of blackberry, espresso and licorice complicated by truffley underbrush.  Then intensely flavored, juicy and tight, dominated today by its firm tannic spine and sound acidity.  Quite primary in a positive way, this rather backward wine may merit a 90-point rating with five or six years of cellaring.
