95-98 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2012

(51% cabernet franc, 41% merlot and 8% cabernet sauvignon):  Bright, deep ruby.  Spicy, high-toned aromas and flavors of cassis, blackberry, violet, licorice and mint.  Superconcentrated, bright and sharply delineated, showing outstanding density and energy for the year but also a magically light touch.  Most promising today on the very long finish, which features suave, fully buffered tannins and great subtle persistence.  Just 13.9% alcohol here.  This set of 2010s should evolve in bottle for at least a couple decades.
