Rating: 5/5 - As reviewed by Decanter. Stewed black fruits, top spice, good oiliness, tar, good style. Stylish, fresh and fat that works well. Length good, warm to the end. Plenty of pleasure when mature, slso structured, very current tannins. Drink 5-10 years.

Rating: 89(+?) - As reviewed by Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar on Jan-04.
