Tasting NotesWine Spectator: 95 Points
Amazingly rich and seductive, a towering wine with layers and layers of rich blackberry, plum, cherry and sweet spice flavors that cascade across a dense structure, polished to a fare-thee-well so the flavors ring, unopposed by tannins; the tannins are present, but totally submerged in the flavors. The kind of wine you want to roll around in. Best from 2004 through 2012. 550 cases made. -- HS
Robert Parker: 92 Points
Showing better than when I tasted it for the Wine Advocate, the wine seems to open a bit, but is still backward. A saturated purple color offers up concentrated blackberry fruit intermixed with licorice and barbecue spice. The wine is large-scaled, very intense, with a multi-dimensional, layered personality. This wine should be at its best in about 7-8 years. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025.
