Score 17/20 · Drink 2008-2017, Jancis Robinson MW, Jan 2005
Light, herbal nose. Chewy tannins after a very mellifluous palate. Thick and dense and sturdy. A safe bet if not too expensive, but never top rank. (JR)

Score 81/100 · Drink 2003-2012, Robert Parker, Apr 2003
An attractive, elegant, but lightweight effort, the 2000 exhibits a deep plum/ruby color in addition to an earthy nose intermixed with camphor, dried herbs, red currants, and cherries. The tannin is sweet, but there is not much concentration or persistence in the abrupt finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2012.
