"Pungent if ultimately reticent scents of black fruits, licorice and menthol, along with a classic Naphtha Valley note. Juicy and tight, even youthfully clenched, and a shock to the palate following the '10 and '09 vintages here. This distinctly austere, low-fat version is an outlier in this line-up and will need extended aging to express itself. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and attractive floral lift." (91+pts Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2017)
