RATINGS

96+ Stephen Tanzer

Densely packed and sappy, offering outstanding precision of dark fruit and mineral flavors and inner-mouth floral perfume...the wine's building tannins and palate-staining length suggest that it will go on in bottle for two decades

92+ Robert M. Parker Jr.

Copious aromas of incense, unsmoked cigar tobacco, Christmas fruitcake, cedar, underbrush, black currants and a hint of espresso roast emerge from this medium to full-bodied, rich, concentrated red.
