Issue: Feb 28, 2009
Top 100: 2009, Rank: 48
 

Offers a powerful aroma of crushed red fruits, with flavors to match.
There's an intense minerality that's accented by notes of beef and pepper,
with medium-grained tannins on the closed finish. Needs some time in the
cellar. Best from 2009 through 2013. 2,500 cases imported. ˆKM
