                                | Tasting Note: | Wine Advocate #158 (1/4/2005)  Rating: 88 points   Drink: 2005-2017 The 2002 has turned out lighter and more herbaceous than I would have guessed. This medium-bodied wine reveals a dark ruby/purple-tinged color, and hints of cedar wood and tobacco in an evolved aromatic display which also includes herbs and black currants. Attractive in a superficial way, there is some tannin, but also a softness and charm. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. - Robert Parker
 
 Wine Spectator (3/31/2005)  Score: 91
 Aromas of currant bush, berries and sweet tobacco follow through to a full-bodied palate, with medium tannins and a long finish. Lovely texture to this wine. Best after 2008. 35,000 cases made. –JS
 
 Decanter Rating:
  Very individual fruit character. Lovely texture, very rich, succulent, and masses of potential. Drink 2013-19. (17.25 points)
