90/100 Wine Spectator
Cellaring : Ripe - Can be enjoyed now.
Tasted on 31 May 2011: "Cocoa and tobacco lead the way, with a core of plum, blackberry and black cherry fruit that is nicely fleshy. Hints of cherry pit and pepper linger on the slightly firm finish, but this wine has more flesh than most wines of this vintage." - JM
