Critics Ratings

'Very bright aromas of currant, black cherry and tobacco. Highly concentrated, juicy and impressively precise; very young but already displaying lovely inner-mouth aromatic character and incipient complexity. Very primary, penetrating cassis and black cherry flavors. The firm tannins reach the front teeth. An impeccably made, powerfully structured wine that shows terrific balance from the outset but should develop in bottle for a decade or more.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous 92+/100 (Mar 2005)

'Quite ripe, almost exotic, with currant preserve, plum, fig, black tea, toast and spice notes. Dense, but accessible now, with a long, plush finish thanks to fine-grained tannins. Shows real power as it opens. Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2007.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Apr 2004)
