Score 90+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2009

(62% petit verdot and 38% cabernet franc) Bright red-ruby. Aromas of black cherry, licorice and bitter chocolate. Juicy, spicy flavors of black fruits and flowers; not a fleshy wine but silky and fine-grained. Finishes with firm but ripe tannins and lingering notes of currant and dark cherry.

Score 90-92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2008

(62% petit verdot and 38% cabernet sauvignon) Good red-ruby. Currant, pepper, licorice, rose petal and nutty oak on the nose, plus a light meaty nuance. Supple, broad and juicy but not at all sweet. Nicely ripe, pure flavors of blackberry, bitter cherry and violet. This shows less of the leafy quality of the 2005 version. Elegantly styled wine, finishing with good breadth and a lingering flavor of bitter cherry.
