    89–91. Barrel sample. Firmly tannic and dry, the wine has density, a dry core and complex structure. With a firm character, not yet hinting at fruit.

  • 201092 pts

    91-93 Densely tannic, although with the fruit weight to sustain the wine. It is packed with ripe flavors, very berry, very firm, finishing with juiciness.

    92-94 Barrel sample. A shiny, ripe and fresh wine, its tannins neatly merged into the blackcurrant fruits. Delicious and fresh, but also sweet.
