91-93 Barrel sample. A wine that feels rather lean, severe almost. It has dark tannins, spice, plum skins, but also intense new wood.

85-87 The aromas are somewhat reductive, but the palate is dense, with caramel and blackberry jelly flavors which don’t blend happily.

88-90 Barrel sample. A ripe, fruity wine, showing delicious fresh berries, lively acidity over solid tannins. This is a wine on the charming side, maybe lacking intensity, but a pleasure to taste.

A wine that seems lean, even angular at first. It does, though, have a good depth of black plum skin fruits. The finish continues the tough theme, showing that it needs several years of softening up.

88-90 Barrel sample. Dense layers of fruit go right through this wine, leaving almost no room for the equally impressive tannins. A hint of old wood detracts from this otherwise serious wine.

92-94 Juicy black fruits, very ripe berries, powered by the darkest tannins. The wine has richness, weight and immense structure.

A green wine showing fruits that are underripe. While it has some soft flavors, red berries and simple tannins, that green underlay is a major downside.
