- ($170) Deep, saturated ruby. Intensely spicy aromas of blackberry, bitter cherry, tobacco and minerals, with a complicating note of black pepper that became more pronounced with air. This is quite fresh and lively for the vintage, showing tangy red and dark berry flavors and a solid, chewy texture. Finishes with considerable finesse.

- Massive wine but surprising balance. Impressive power. Restrained but intense on the nose. Confit fruit but a notion of minerally terroir. Ripe and warm on the palate with plenty of gras. Solid tannic frame. Ageing potential. Drink 2010-22.
