Score 86+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Bright ruby. Very reticent, somewhat stunted nose hints at smoked meat, spicy blackberry, chocolate and tarry oak. Spicy blackberry flavor is pinched by tart-edged acids. Finishes with big, tongue-dusting tannins that reach the teeth. Will this ever become pliant? Also tasted: 1997 Merlot Carneros, 1997 Andrus Reserve Napa Valley.
