Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2007-2014, Jancis Robinson MW, Jun 2009

First bottle: Looks pretty light and developed. Rather odd fungal nose. But reassuring individuality on the palate.This would definitely not appeal to modernists. Keep away from wine competitions! I gave this first bottle 15.5 but the second was much better and looks like quite a bargain. Second bottle: Much cleaner nose, and real sweetness on the palate. Pretty good and rewarding! (JR)

Score 87/100 · Drink 2002-2008, Robert Parker, Apr 2002

Notes of sweet almonds, black cherries, and subtle herbs are found in this 1999's moderately intense, perfumed bouquet. The wine is medium-bodied, with elegance and finesse. It will be drinkable between now and 2008.

Lovely rich and silky red, with plum, berry and spicy aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a rich finish. Best after 2004. 3,330 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2002
