Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate, #153(6/2004) Rating: 88 points Drink: 2006-2013
Elegant notes of damp earth, underbrush, sweet cherries, and currants arise from the modest bouquet. While a distinctive soil character dominates the fruit, it offers good richness, medium body, and moderate tannin in an elegant, stylish format. It is good to see this well-known property produce an excellent wine. - Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2004) Score: 85
Slightly earthy, but has some good blackberry character. Medium-bodied, with silky tannins; turns a bit veggie on the finish. Best after 2006. 21,665 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Lovely, classic, powerful, cedary. Beautiful silky fruit, lovely balance and oak integration. Harmonious with long, sweet, fruity finish. Drink 2006-13 plus. |
