    90–92. Barrel sample. This firmly tannic wine is solid and potentially quite complex. The structure is paramount, exhibiting substantial weight, while still hinting at the juicy fruity acidity on the finish.

  • 200893 pts

    92-94 Barrel sample. Firm, but ripe, very sweet Merlot coming through a core of tense acidity. This is chunky, foursquare, remaining fruity while also tannic.
