Tasting notes
A solid and well-made wine. Lovely blackberry, milk chocolate and cherry aromas. Medium-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long, fruity finish.James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2000

This wine is sexy, opulently-textured, full-flavored, with low acidity as well as delicious, up-front appeal. Lavish cherry fruit intermixed with mocha, dried herbs, spice box, and toasty oak are present in this medium to full-bodied, fruit-driven wine. Already evolved, complex, and tasty, it will age well for 10-12 years. Apr 2000, www.robertparker.com
