96 points -- Deep garnet colored, this vintage gives a classic Bordeaux blend nose with notes of cassis, warm plums, pencil shavings, tobacco, leather and underbrush with subtle hints of black pepper and cinnamon. Full bodied with medium to firm fine grained tannins, the layers of fruit, savory and spice flavors intertwine seamlessly with beautiful balance and a very long finish.
