RATINGS

92-94Wine Spectator

Gorgeous aromas of ultraripe grapes with raspberries, minerals and hints of flowers. Full-bodied, with silky and juicy tannins. Long and flavorful.

91Robert M. Parker Jr.

Fleshy, opulent, and nearly decadent, with terrific fruit, a creamy texture, and supple tannin...

89-92Stephen Tanzer

Very pure aromas of blackberry, cassis, violet and spicy oak. Very ripe and rich in the mouth, with a much more pliant texture than the grand vin Quite chewy on the back end, finishing with broad, sweet tannins and a touch of warmth.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Glowing with health. Quite zesty nose, broad and ripe. Very seductive ripeness with lovely polished tannins. Good balance of acidity with velvety tannins and ripe fruit. Firm, sandy tannins on the finish.
