Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2011-2018, Jancis Robinson MW, Jan 2009
Includes 25% 'mixed black' grapes other than Zinfandel . Not all that generous now, it's a bit ragged, all black spice, tight tannins and some palate heat, though history suggests more generosity from cellaring. Expect blackberry, plum and mulberry fruit to work their way to the front. (LM)

Score 94-96/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2008
Deep red. Powerful, deeply scented bouquet combines fresh red fruits, flowers and Indian spices; turns more pungent with air, picking up a candied floral character that carries onto the palate. Very fresh and silky, with tangy red- and blackcurrant flavors enhanced by building spiciness. The finish will not quit. Already very complex but history says that this wine will richly reward patience.
