90/93

Stephen Tanzer

Vinous

Saturated ruby. Roasted raspberry and currant, smoke, tobacco, earth and oak spices on the nose. Sweeter, lusher and deeper than the 2001, but with excellent underlying backbone. Wonderfully complex in the mouth. Finishes long and firmly tannic, with subtle notes of smoke, minerals, tobacco and brown spices.

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate

This wine stands out as a sensational effort just a few years away from full maturity. A 50/50 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine displays loads of scorched earth and smoky barbecue scents along with blueberry, black raspberry and black currant. The wine is expansive, has a savory, broad palate and a full-bodied mouthfeel, yet possesses vivid purity and uplift. The tannins are still present, but they are sweet and well-integrated. This wine should hit full maturity in another year or two and last for at least 20 more years.
