Community Tasting Notes (average 91.5 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 2 notes)

A deep ruby/purple hue is accompanied by scents of vitamins, smoke, black fruits, and meats, moderately high tannin, impressive concentration, and plenty of structure. Forget this 2006 for 4-5 years, and drink it over the following two decades. Score: 89-91 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (170), April 2007

1/21/11 with Steve and Matthias over a delicious Szechuan meal of laquered pork belly, cauliflower, fish fragrant eggplant, spicy Szechuan pepper fish. Nice wine.
