Wine Spectator
"94 pts ... Bright, round and juicy. A gorgeous mouthful of cherry, blackberry and floral flavors, lingering on the finish with a touch of dark espresso to add interest. The tannins are polished, and the wine has a keen sense of balance, grace and harmony. Drink now through 2015." James Halliday
"91 pts ... Leather, prune, licorice, plum and blackberry all intermingle on the supple palate; simply doesn't have the intense focus of the best '04s, but is a pretty good wine. Drink to 2013." - 10/06 Stephen Tanzer
"92 pts ... Inky purple. Ripe vanilla-accented boysenberry and blueberry on the nose, with clove and nutmeg adding complexity. Deep and lush, with dark berry preserve flavors, solid but harmonious tannins and excellent expansion on the close. There's very impressive hang time here and the wine never loses focus or structure, despite its sweetness. 14.5% alc."--9/07 | |
