                                | Tasting Note: | Wine Advocate#164 (4/2006)  Rating: 87 points  Drink: 2006-2016 A pretty, somewhat superficial effort, the 2003 offers aromas of cranberries, sweet cherries, black currants, and spicy new oak. Elegant and medium-bodied, with a shallow finish, it should be consumed over the next decade. -Robert Parker
 
 Wine Spectator (6/31/2006)  Score:90
 Black licorice and blackberry aromas follow through to a medium-to-full body, fine tannins and a silky finish. Best after 2007. 7,555 cases made. –JS
 
 Decanter Rating:
  Ripe yet reserved, hints of succulent berry fruit and exotic spice. Silky textured with sweet, ripe fruit. Flowing, succulent, with a well-crafted frame. Drink 2009-21.
