It offers gorgeous purity in its black raspberry and cassis fruit, crushed rock, and spice-laced aromatics, yet is relatively closed and backward at the moment, with an almost granite-like tightness and focus on the palate. It could flirt with perfection at maturity, but it needs 3-4 years of cellaring at the moment. - Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate
