Score 90+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jul 2005

(100% cabernet sauvignon; just bottled) Saturated, deep ruby. Roasted black fruits, licorice and bitter chocolate on the nose; porty in a positive way. Then impressively intense and juicy, with powerfulflavors of blackberry, black raspberry, licorice, violet and bitter chocolate. Lovely acidity gives definition to this powerful but fine-grained wine. Boasts terrific intensity and finishing fruit. Finishes with broad, huge but fine tannins and noteworthy persistence. This distinctly bold cabernet carries about 16% alcohol.
