JS96: Smoke, meat and wet earth to the black fruit. Black truffle, too. Full-bodied, chewy and fruity. Lots of smoky wood. Tight and in need of time to open up, yet it already delivers beautifully polished, caressing tannins. Decant before serving. An amazing wine.

WS93: A broad, rich style, backed by big, dense tannins. Black cherry, plum, earth and tree bark flavors mingle, riding the dusty tannins on the finish. Terrific length and a ripe core of fruit keep this balanced.
