A Bordeaux blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, The Brook comes out of the bottle tightly wound, terse, and short. Give it plenty of breathing time for the flavors of prune, fig and plum to emerge, along with streaks of clove and cinnamon. Score could improve with further bottle age. ——P.G.(4/1/2011)—— 89
