Score 89/100 · Drink 2004-2011, Robert Parker, Jun 2004

A heady concoction of jammy black fruits, melted licorice, chocolate, and espresso roast is followed by a layered wine with considerable opulence, excellent purity, and a heady, chewy, plump finish. Drink it over the next 5-7 years. It is a sleeper of the vintage.

Black. Quite aromatic though, with a hint of over-the-top raisins. Lively palate with real punch. User-friendly without being over the top although perhaps not for ultra-traditionalists. (JR)

Score 85-88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Deep, full ruby. Porty aromas of black cherry and licorice. Deep, sappy flavors of maraschino cherry and kirsch Concentrated but a bit clenched today, finishing with big, chewy tannins.
