| Review: | 92 points, Wine Advocate, August 2010: "Deep purple in color, it delivers an expressive nose of pain grillé, mineral, sage, incense, lavender, and black currant. Round, concentrated, and the most complex of these offerings, this mouth-filling wine will evolve for another 4-5 years and drink well through 2028." | |
