88-90 This is a ripe, complete wine, full of black fruits, spicy wood and solid tannins. Over five-10 years, it will develop into a very satisfying wine.

87-89 Barrel sample. With its rather earthy, rustic aromas, this wine is old-fashioned, showing hard tannins and not much else at this stage. In time, if the fruit appears, this may be a nice wine.

88-90 Lots of tannins, but a well-balanced wine, which shows good fruit under the tannins. It’s dense with good acidity and nice blackcurrant characters.

90-92 Dominated by its acidity, the tannins firm without being too dry, finely integrated into the rich structure. A fine finish of licorice and black plum skins.

90-92 Barrel sample. Fruity, attractively balanced wine, the spice and caramel wood flavors fitting well into the sweet, berry fruits.

90-92 Barrel sample. Dense tannins over freshness, the wine is packed with tight, mineral tannins and layered fruit and wood. Maybe a little too extracted.

This wine was pretty good, though it needed to open up a lot before it peaked. What was suprising was how much better it was on its own than with the turkey chili. Definitely needed a steak or some hard cheese instead of the chili. But it was good anyway. Very mushroomy on the nose, and the palatte tasted like a steak. Very meaty. It would be heavenly with a filet.
