    87–89. Barrel sample. Spicy wood comes through strongly, giving this wine a bitterness that's contrasted with intense acidity and tart black-currant flavors.

    87-89 Barrel sample. Initially closed, the wine is tight, mineral, with tannins that are hard and dense. The fruit is perhaps too light for all this weight of structure.
