Score 85/100 · Drink 2000-2004, Robert Parker, Aug 2000

This wine is a medium-weight, moderately-endowed effort with evolved color, sweet fruit on the attack, but some austerity and dryness in the compressed finish. It is a very good wine, but not inspirational. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-8900

Deep ruby-garnet. Quite ripe but fresh on the nose, with notes of plum, raisin and chocolate. Round and smooth, with alcohol contributing some additional volume and warmth. Shows good force and intensity on the finish. Offers some prospects of improvement with more bottle age.
