RATINGS

98Wine Spectator

Wine of the vintage. Massive, with exuberant aromas of cassis, lead pencil and fruit which follow through on the palate. Full-bodied and incredibly velvety. Long, long finish.

96Robert M. Parker Jr.

Is a breathtaking wine. Astonishingly rich, concentrated, atypically powerful and tannic. Aromas exude ripe cassis fruit, violets, and vanillin oakiness, and the flavors are extremely deep and long on the palate...

95Stephen Tanzer

...Very complex nose. Still youthful tannins but lots of ripe luscious fruit...

*/***Michael Broadbent

Still surprisingly deep and youthful; vanilla on nose, very fragrant; also surprisingly sweet.
