Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #164 (4/2006) Rating: 92 points Drink: 2008-2021
The dark plum/ruby-hued, open-knit 2003 offers a big, sweet nose of barbecue smoke, plum liqueur, creme de cassis, flowers, new saddle leather, and damp earth. Loads of black fruits, a full-bodied palate impression, low acidity, and a savory, expansive mouthfeel suggest it can be drunk in 2-3 years, or cellared for 15+. -Roberts Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2006) Score:91
Aromas of blackberry and chocolate follow through to a full-bodied palate, with big velvety tannins and a long, caressing finish. Best after 2010. 17,500 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Bold, expressive aromas, toasty oak. Good sweetness on palate, soft acidity, good underlying fruit. Has fruit and structure to improve. Drink 2011-21. |
