International Wine Cellar Author: Stephen Tanzer Issue: Issue 105

($225; these vines are 36 years old) Saturated, deep ruby-red. Perfumed, multidimensional aromas of plum, currant, tar, smoke and camphor. Sweet on entry, then superconcentrated and rich in the middle palate, with great chewy depth and compelling inner-mouth aromas. Like the San Lorenzo, this resounds in the mouth and on the very long finish. The sappy sweetness carries through on the aftertaste, ending with a suggestion of marzipan.

Wine Advocate Author: Antonio Galloni Issue: Issue 2

Dark ruby. Fantastic, promising nose of tar, licorice, minerals, and toasted oak. This mid-weight wine is fairly soft, but is also totally shut down and inexpressive on the palate today and seems to be at an awkward stage in its development.

Wine Spectator Author: James Suckling

Phenomenal aromas of crushed berries, strawberries, blackberries and minerals. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Just the right amount of wood and fruit. 2,800 cases made.

Aged in barrique for 12 months followed by another year in large oak casks, this deep dark brooding wine gives off soy sauce, licorice, dark fruits, blueberry, and smoke aromas at present. Thick and rich with serious tannins (but I think they will ameliorate with time).
