Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #170 (4/2007) Rating: 90-93 points Drink: 2012 - 2037
It reveals an inky/purple color as well as a powerful nose of scorched earth, acacia flowers, blueberries, and black currants. Displaying an old style concentration with modern-styled tannins, it possesses fabulous richness, a full-bodied, powerful mouthfeel, terrific precision, and a wonderful sweetness to the fruit as well as tannin. A sleeper of the vintage, it should be drinkable in 5-7 years, and last for three decades. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (6/31/2006) Score range: 89-91
Aromas of currants, berries and light vanilla follow through to a full-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a medium finish. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Black-red, massive concentration and hints of new oak, rich, deeply extracted with some freshness and good acidity. Drink 2010-20. |
