Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dark and deep purple/black, with a Port-like nose. There’s a little fizz on the palate, which seems odd in a wine this big, and the flavors are locked in tight. Flat, dry, tannic finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The flavors are almost moving into late-harvest; raisiny, superripe, hot and tannic. On the plus side is the finish, with sweet, juicy, jammy fruit that is really tasty. From 77-year-old vines.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
95-year-old vines produced this dark, inky, tannic wine made in the old style. Blueberries, vanilla and spice, with lots of depth and power. Good juice unimpeded by oak.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A dense purple color, with jammy, grapy fruit. Plenty of extraction, yielding a grapy, fruity wine with a little bit of fizz to it. The wine promises more depth than it delivers; the finish falls off quickly and feels flat.
