WA 92-94 (8/1998): This medium-to-dark ruby/purple-colored offering has a magnificent nose of deeply ripe dark fruits intermingled with traces of underbrush and Asian spices. This fat, expressive, rich, expansive, and full-bodied wine has an awesome texture (pure velvet), gorgeous balance, and loads of showy and opulent fruit. Plump black cherries, plums, blueberries, and cassis are intertwined with minerals, earth, and hints of porcini mushrooms in this elegant, muscular wine's flavor profile. Projected maturity: 2003-2010+.
Wow. Spicy blackberry aromas and flavors are matched by richness, power and a searing intensity as the vibrant acidity and tannins climax on the finish. Great length and focus. Best from 2002 through 2008.
BH 88 (10/2001): Still entirely primary on the nose with obvious earth notes and lovely complexity followed by noticeably oaky flavors that offer excellent focus and richness if not necessarily great density of material. There is both elegance and length and if this adds depth, especially on the finish, my rating will undoubtedly be conservative. Drink 2006+
IWC 91+ (4/1999): Deep red. Complex, fresh aromas of black cherry, raspberry, smoke, spice and licorice. Firm, intensely flavored and strong in extract. Strong acidity carries the slightly floral fruit through the very long, firm finish.
