Expert Reviews

92 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2000

Good healthy full red. Superripe aromas of plum, blackberry liqueur, tar and flowers. Impressively dense and sweet, with liqueur-like strawberry and raspberry fruit. Very round and smooth, but with firm supporting acidity and huge, palate-coating but fine tannins. Late hint of mint on the long back end. A superb vintage for this bottling.
