This wine gives its French oak first, the substantial wood tannins backing up straightforward black fruit. Give it some time in the glass and the fruit lengthens out, opening up with earthy detail. Grilled lamb chops would stand up to it, and mellow its youthful power. Score - 91. (wineandspiritsmagazine.com, Dec. 2014)
