| Wine Spectator 90 Points | "Sports a singed mesquite note, along with juniper, bay leaf tobacco, while the core of damson plum , raspberry and black currant sits in reverse. Offers a racy feel on the finish, with the tobacco edge holding sway. Not as dense as the top Pomerols, but lovely for drinking while you wait for the rest of the pack to evolve. Drink now through 2020" |
