Wine Spectator 91
"Very dark purple in color, showing aromas of mineral, dark chocolate and licorice. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Layered and pretty. Very, very balanced. Close to the excellent 2000. Best after 2012. 8,330 cases made." ~ JS

Barrel Tasting
"Aromas of spices, berries and currant follow through to a full-bodied palate, with fine taninns and a long, flavorful finish." ~J.S.
