Tanzer Review:
Deep red. Pungently perfumed, noble aromas of black raspberry, cocoa powder and graphite. Highly concentrated and chewy with extract this wine penetrating minerality gives it terrific cut and clarity, even if its rather ungiving at this early stage. Finishes very long, subtle and backward.
Other Reviews:
This is nothing short of phenomenal and may even one day outclass the other worldly 99 with its sexy stunning aromatic complexity and ultra pure nose featuring layers upon layers of black and red pinot and violot fruit mixed with dried rose petals and rich soil notes plus dazzling spiciness. The moderately structured flavors are buffered by superb extract and the sheer depth and breadth of flavors is amazing. To be sure, this is not especially massive and the tannins are presently not quite as well integrated as with the 99 but the potential here is extraordinary. Burghound
