Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #164 (4/2006) Rating: 90 points Drink: 2006-2016
This 2003 offers both complexity and pleasure. Already sensual and evolved, it reveals soft, sexy notes of plums, figs, black currants, pain grille, and earth. Although full-bodied, opulent, pure, and rich, it appears to be on a fast evolutionary track, so consumption over the next decade is recommended. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2006) Score: 89
Round and velvety with lots of berry and cherry character and toasted oak. Full-bodied, with lovely texture and a medium finish. A tiny bit more on the finish would push it to outstanding. Yummy wine. Best after 2008. 14,165 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Expansive, inviting, perfumed. Complex and integrated. Rewarding, full, ripe palate with forward fruit and smooth tannins. Drink 2008-14. |
