Score 87/100 · Drink 2003-2012, Robert Parker, Apr 2000
A strong, albeit rustic effort, this opaque dark ruby/purple-colored wine reveals herbaceous black cherry, earthy, and licorice aromas, a tannic, medium to full-bodied, chewy constitution, little charm, but lots of weight, intensity, and volume. If the tannin becomes better integrated, this wine may merit an even higher score. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2012.
