Score 90/100 · Wine Spectator
Pretty, with loads of berry and Indian spices on the nose. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, long finish. Best after 2006. 3,050 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2001

Moderately intense aromas of sweet black cherry fruit intermixed with minerals, smoke, and spice box are followed by a well-balanced, harmonious wine with excellent richness, sweetness (from glycerin), and a spicy, soft finish. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. Apr 2001, www.robertparker.com
