93 points -- Deep ruby. Big, intense, sweet, wonderfully complex nose of spice, earth and tea followed by very dense, still youthful and impressively rich flavors that finish with velvety persistence. Terrific stuff and while the tannins are in evidence and there are the beginnings of secondary aromas, the structure and extract are there to permit this to age for many, many years... maturing beautifully.
