Pretty concentrated, very ripe nose and very concentrated on the palate too. Rather rustic tannins and no shortage of acidity. Not especially refined but it does deliver fruit. And the finish is not too brutal. (JR)

Score 84/100 · Wine Spectator
More like a Rioja than a Bordeaux, but pleasant. Dark-colored, with ripe fruit, but really oaky and round. Medium-bodied. Best after 1999. 5,000 cases made. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 1999.
