Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2008

Bright red-ruby. Brooding aromas of red fruits, mocha, smoke and rose petal, with a darker blackberry note emerging with aeration. Chewy and rich in extract but light on its feet, with a note of smoky reduction to its flavors of strawberry liqueur, mocha and spices. This will need time to absorb its juicy acidity and substantial dusty tannins but has the depth and personality for a graceful evolution in bottle. Give this one five years.

Score 88-91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2007

Bright ruby-red. Briary dark berries, minerals and spices on the nose. Sweet, lush and pliant, with ripe acids and an intriguing spice character that reminded me of Clos de Tart. This showed more personality than the village wines that preceded it. Finishes with very good sweetness and breadth.
