91 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2012

(a very limited bottling from selected lots of cabernet aged for three to four years in barrel):  Good dark red.  Musky aromas of dried cherry, licorice and smoke; rich but missing the high notes of Jayson Woodbridge's top 2009 bottlings.  Chewy, saline and rich in the mouth but a bit undifferentiated.  Finishes with building, dusty, lightly tarry tannins and a lingering note of licorice.  A very rich cabernet but I'm not convinced that this vintage began with enough verve to support extended aging in barrel.
