Wine Advocate#158 (4/2005) Rating: 86 points Drink: 2005-2012
Dark ruby/purple with a pleasant, straightforward nose of plums, flowers, underbrush, and licorice, the medium-bodied 2002 possesses a good attack and mid-palate, but then finishes abruptly. Drink it over the next 6-7 years. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (1/1/2007) Score: 88
Excellent aromas of currant and spice. Medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a caressing finish. Lacks a bit of a midpalate, but still well-made. A very nice wine that's just about ready for drinking. Best after 2009. 10,500 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating：
Powerful black fruit, rich tannin coasted in lovely fruit. Very fine. Drink 2011-17.
