Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2010-2017, Jancis Robinson MW, Jun 2009

Relatively deep crimson. Not much nose but solid structure with a bit of surprisingly embryonic fruit in the middle. Certainly not subtle but no lack of delivery – though I'd wait for more evolution. (JR)

Score 88/100 · Drink 2003-2013, Robert Parker, Apr 2002

This charming, full-bodied 1999 is a sleeper of the vintage. It reveals beautiful, sweet fruit redolent with notes of raspberries, black currants, and spicy wood. The wine is soft, velvety-textured, yet concentrated, with good delineation. It is a strong effort in 1999. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2013.

Aromas of black licorice, cherry and cedar. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a fruity finish. Light, but pleasant. Best after 2004. 24,165 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2002
