Wine Spectator
Rich, round and spicy, with a strong mocha character wrapped around currant and plum flavors as it all whooshes through the finish. Has style, needs to shed some of the oak character. Best after 2007. 843 cases made.
Score: 90. —Harvey Steiman, October 15, 2005.Vintages and ratings subject to change at any time.
