MAGNUMS
"91 Points - Josh Raynolds, Vinous.com
Inky ruby. Fresh dark berries and candied violet on the perfumed nose. Rich but lithe in the mouth, offering gently sweet black and blue fruit flavors accented by a strong suggestion of cracked pepper. Finishes with slow-building tannins, a touch of cola and strong spicy persistence. February 2016"

Laurent Courbis told me that 2013 "is for those who don't mind waiting for a while and appreciate more structure." That said, "2013 isn't a forbidding year, like 2010, for example, because the tannins and structure are in good harmony with the fruit, which is extremely fresh."
