    Rating: 91/100 - As reviewed by Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar on May-06
  • Wine Spectator
    "Blackberry, mineral and lightly toasted oak. Subtle and complex. Full-bodied, with wonderfully sweet fruit character and ultrarefined tannins. Goes on and on. Gorgeous and seductive. Best after 2009. 5,055 cases made."
