Review by Stephen Tanzer
Rating: (92)
(70.6% cabernet sauvignon, 24.9% merlot, 3% cabernet franc and 1.5% petit verdot): Knockout perfume of black fruits, violet and cedar. Broad, lush and rather open-knit, with lovely fullness to the expressive flavors of currant, cherry, plum, spices and flowers. Very suave, concentrated and fine-grained for a “second wine”, finishing with even, building tannins and subtle suggestions of currant, graphite and wild herbs.
