A touch of herbal tea character is present on the cool aromas of plum, the sauvage and earth that are trimmed in moderate wood. The suave, round and concentrated medium-bodied flavors possess a borderline seductive texture, all wrapped in a powerful, serious and compact finale that is also youthfully austere. This is lovely but a wine that's going to require some patience. 90-93 Points Allen Meadows, Burghound
