Burghound: 90-93 Points

A highly perfumed nose speaks of a dense and well-layered mix of red raspberry plum violet sandalwood cinnamon and once again lavender nuances. There is notably better concentration to the powerful serious and stony middle weight plus flavors that culminate in a refined focused and flawlessly balanced finale. In a word terrific.

Vinous: 93 Points

Bright dark red. Very bracing aromas for the year: crushed cranberry pomegranate rose petal and pungent minerality. Densely packed and intense conveying a strong impression of salty mineral lift to its bracing red fruit flavors. This seriously strong saline wine finishes tactile and long with terrific fruit-driven lift. The pH here is a low 3.25. I would be hard-pressed to identify the vintage here as this wine is remarkably bracing for 2015. Nor would I have guessed that the wine weighs in at 13.4% alcohol. Stephen Tanzer
