Wine Spectator - 96 Points
Totally closed for business right now, with demure aromas and a hard-as-nails structure holding the core of damson plum, iron, red currant and lavender at bay for now. Yet the tannins are ripe and integrated, and the finish won't let go. Should be a classic when it emerges fully. (6/2010)
Vinous - 95 Points
Bright ruby. Compelling aromas of candied red berries, sandalwood, fresh violet and lavender and pipe tobacco. Finely etched red and dark berry flavors are wonderfully concentrated and fresh, with impressive back-end lift and energy. Becomes livelier with air, finishing with outstanding clarity and focus. I underestimated this wine last year, just before it was bottled. (1/2009)
