87-90 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2011

(a blend of 68% cabernet sauvignon, 24% merlot and 8% cabernet franc) Deep ruby. Intense, refined cabernet sauvignon-dominated aromas of cassis, graphite and cedar. Then austere and tight on the palate, with concentrated blackberry and mineral flavors leading to smooth but youthfully chewy tannins. Not especially long, but I think this will improve considerably with a little bottle age. This couldn't be more different than the soft, balsamic '09 version.
