    91–93. Barrel sample. Firm tannins guard the ripe blackberry flavors on this rich wine. Spice and sweet tannins add to the intensity.

    92-94 Big, firm, with dense tannins that underly the ripe, dark berry and plum skin fruit flavors. Very powerful, the almost shocking acidity a cutting edge of freshness. Hugely juicy aftertaste.

    88-90 Barrel sample. Very sweet fruit, deliciously approachable. Chocolate and ripe black fruit. The layer of tannin is important to keep all this opulence together.
