Score 87/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jan 2005

(a blend of 53% merlot, 35% cabernet franc and 12% cabernet sauvignon) Fresh ruby-red color. Vibrant aromas of black raspberry, bitter cherry, espresso, fresh herbs and mint. Juicy and firm-edged, with moderately concentrated but brisk flavors of black cherry, licorice and mint. The initially sweet tannins turned drier with aeration. Not bad, but could use more complexity, depth and length.
