Score 85/100 · Drink 2003-2012, Robert Parker, Jan 2003
A dark plum/ruby color is accompanied by dusty, earthy, sweet cherry, currant, smoke, and vanillin scents. A medium-bodied wine with moderate levels of tannin, admirable extract, and a linear personality, this 1996 possesses fine raw materials and good ripeness, but may turn out to be angular and austere given the elevated tannin level. Anticipated maturity: Now-2012. Last tasted, 3/02.
