Vinous: 92+pts
Good bright, dark red. Red cherry, mocha, licorice and dried flowers on the nose and palate, accented by mint and menthol. Juicy, sappy and youthfully tight; less obviously dense than the 2009 but displays terrific cut and really fills the mouth with perfume. Finishes with a firm tannic spine. I'd give this five or six years of cellaring.
