94 points Allen Meadows - Burghound
A more deeply pitched nose of cool and reserved red and black cherry aromas that are quite fresh and pure and are laced more with warm earth than stone though both are present. The focused and detailed broad-shouldered flavors are blessed with ample dry extract that cuts a bit of the austerity on the linear, serious, mouth coating and hugely long finish. As is often the case, this is still quite primary and will need plenty of time to unwind. (from a 2.7 ha parcel situated entirely in terres rouges soil in the south-east portion of the vineyard).  (1/2011)
