Wine Advocate #164(2006-4) Rating: 90 points Drink: 2006 - 2016
A sexy, smoky nose of tapenade, black cherry jam, cedar, and Asian spices soars from the glass of this expressive 2003. Once past the flamboyant aromatics, the wine reveals broad, expansive flavors, medium to full body, low acidity, and an undeniably exciting style. Consume it over the next decade. It is a sleeper of the vintage.
-Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (2006/3/31) Score: 89
Aromas and flavors of berry, currant and toasted oak follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a medium finish. Blowsy. Best after 2009. 20,000 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating: 
Very deep ruby, really lovely Cabernet nose, some tobacco leaf flavours, good length with ripe succulence on the palate and very good structure. 2008-18. |
