Lots of blackberry, vanilla and cherry on the nose. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Well-structured. Solid wine here. Best after 2010. 3,755 cases made. – James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2006

Very bright crimson. Pretty hot and ripe – almost animal. Relatively soft and easy and opulent. Markedly gentle tannins compared to the rest – as though deliberately made for early drinking. Feet up!www.jancisrobinson.com, 03 Nov 2005

Score 90/100 · Robert Parker

Lots of Asian soy, licorice and Christmas fruitcake notes intermingled with notions of red and black fruits and spice box emerge from this dark plum/garnet-colored (with just a bit of pink at the edge), medium to full-bodied, opulent, round, juicy, hedonistic 2003. Enjoy it over the next 4-5 years. Wine Advocate.August, 2014
