Critics Ratings

‘The nose is a bit closed, then layers of sweet cherry, raspberry, wild berry, musk and spice unfold as this red unlocks its depths. Taut and elegant, with an internal energy that won't quit. Lovely balance and harmony, but the best is yet to come. Best from 2015 through 2035.’ - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 95/100 (May 2008)

‘A moderately fresher nose of animale, red and black fruit and underbrush aromas trimmed in a background touch of wood merge into richer and more energetic flavors that possess good volume and weight if perhaps slightly less power than I'm accustomed to seeing in this wine, all wrapped in a sappy finish. I like this as the extract renders this quite approachable yet the underlying structure will require up to a decade to fully resolve.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 90-93/100 (Apr 2007)
