Blackish crimson. Quite fine. Gentle and easy. Relatively dry. Quite powerful. Dry tannins intrude only at the end. (JR)

Score 89/100 · Drink 2000-2010, Robert Parker, Jun 2000

Minerals, earth, cherry jam, spice, and smoke are present in this wine's moderately intense aromatics. It possesses excellent concentration, medium body, a sinewy mid-palate, and plenty of size, depth, and moderate tannin in the finish. While it is fully mature, there remains a youthful vibrancy to its fruit and personality. Consume it over the next 6-10 years.

Saturated deep red. Weedy aromas of menthol and apple. Green and sour on the palate. Not dilute and not old, just nasty.
