Robert Parker (90)

This is a somewhat old-styled wine that has put on significant weight since its early days in cask and bottle. Its rugged level of tannin is the reason for the question mark, but there is no doubt this wine has tremendous depth underlined with tannin, and seems richer and fuller-bodied than I ever remembered young. The wine still has a sort of opaque, murky ruby/garnet color, a big sweet nose of mushrooms, licorice, damp earth, spice box, and figs. In the mouth it is chunky and substantial, but the aggressive tannins and somewhat coarse finish make one wonder if it is still just a very young wine that needs more time or just something rather uncivilized. It certainly seems worth the gamble if it can be purchased at a reasonable price.
