Young with lots of ripe blackberry fruit and oak. Not much depth or complexity and while it's for near term drinking, it's delicious.

Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2005
(from old vines) Medium ruby. Perfumed aromas of blackberry, licorice, violet and rose petal. Sweet, round and silky, with dark berry and spice flavors complemented by smoky oak. Broad and harmonious wine, lacking only the complexity for an outstanding rating. Finishes with very fine tannins and a chocolatey sweetness.
