Professional reviews

Robert Parker (90)

This wine has a dark ruby-color and an elegant, dense, violet-imbued nose. This full-bodied, chewy-textured, extracted, and hugely powerful wine shovels super-ripe blackberries, cassis, and candied grapefruits (!) across the taster's palate. I am concerned about the hard dry tannins its finish revealed. If they soften over the course of the next three or four years, this wine will certainly be excellent, and potentially outstanding.
