Tasting note: This has a solid core of black cherry preserves and dark plum fruit, with a liberally toasty vanilla frame. There's solid fruit, if a touch shy on complexity. Score range: 87-90 (87-90pts. JM, Wine Spectator)

Tasting note: Beautifully intense dark-hued wine. Refined nose of mature fruit. Glamorous flesh on entry. Melting and generously pulpy on the mid-palate. Detailed tannic backbone from start to finish. Leisurely unfolding layers of aromas through to a long and lingering finish boasting the finest tannins I have ever seen for the estate. Superb work, well done! The sample was even better than last month. (90pts. Jean-Marc Quarin)
