93 points -- ... one of the rare wines from its vintage to still have the capacity to age and ameliorate... a medium-to-dark ruby and amber color... dense park berry and caramelized aromas. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied and offers loads of sweet red cherry, plum, black pepper, juniper berry, and spice. Broad, well-structured, and velvery-textured... exceptionally long and flavorful finish.
