Wine Advocate#122(4/1999) Rating: 90 points Drink: 2001-2016
This is an elegant, complex, distinctive wine that depends on its aromatic complexity and harmonious display of fruit and structure for appeal. It will not knock over tasters with a display of power or muscle. The color is a healthy dark ruby. The wine offers up roasted herb, tobacco, sweet cranberry and black currant fruit aromas. It is medium-bodied, with a rich, layered, silky impression, excellent purity, and soft tannin in the finish. Surprisingly forward, it appears to be on a rapid evolutionary track, although it will keep for 15 or more years. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (2007) Score: 86
Aromas of herbs, fruit and minerals follow through to a full-bodied palate, with chewy tannins and an austere, light finish. Hard to get excited about. Drink now. –JS
