93 points Stephen Tanzer for Vinous: "Very pure, lively aromas of blackberry, black cherry, licorice pastile, bitter chocolate and violet, accented by a peppery quality. Smooth, dry and classic but in a distinctly cooler style than the 2010, showing licorice and fresh herb notes and good chewy extract. Here the fine-grained tannins are a bit more obvious as there's less supporting mid-palate stuffing, but there's nothing green or underripe about this very well-balanced cool-year wine." (05/2015)
