RATINGS

95Robert M. Parker Jr.

It boasts a staggering bouquet of violets and other spring flowers intermixed with licorice, black currants, and subtle wood. it offers sweet tannin along with flavors that caress the palate, and a 45-second finish.

92Stephen Tanzer

...Lush, sweet and vinous, with complex, explosive dark berry flavors and impressive density for the year. Plump and pliant. Finishes with broad, lightly dusty tannins and excellent length...

91Wine Spectator

Plenty of licorice, berry and mineral character in this red. Full-bodied, with super, well-integrated tannins and a long finish.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Lots of coffee and fragrant spice and cedar. Intense clean cassis, touch of indulgent damson, and a note of undergrowth.
