Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #171 (6/2007) Rating: 90 points Drink: 2011 - 2024+
The deep ruby/purple-hued 2004 offers up beautiful aromas of flowers, creme de cassis, smoke, and pain grille. Medium to full-bodied with excellent purity, low acidity, and moderately high tannin, this stunning effort should be at its peak between 2011-2024+. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2007) Score: 88
Shows blackberry and raspberry aromas. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a chocolate and light vanilla aftertaste. Best after 2008. 17,500 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Spiced, peppery, earthy nose, tobacco and undergrowth - intriguing. Layers of ripe fruit and graphite minerality. Drink up to 2012. |
