Tasting Notes
Fabulous aromas of crushed berries, with cassis and blueberries and hints of spice. Full-bodied and very rich, with a wonderful tannin structure. Long and exotic. - James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2003

Dark crimson. Succulent and rich and charming. Lots of polish. Good stuff!www.jancisrobinson.com, 13 Oct 2009
Deep ruby/purple-tinged, this vintage, a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, is medium-bodied, elegantly-styled with surprisingly sweet tannin, some notes of herbs, plums, black cherries, and currants, a sweet, ripe attack, and a straightforward finish without the power and depth of the finest vintages. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2017. Apr 2005, www.robertparker.com
