93 Points | International Wine Cellar , July/August 2005
($100) Deep, saturated ruby-violet. Intensely aromatic, even perfumed on the nose, with aromas of kirsch, superripe blackberry, molten chocolate, rose oil and violet. Concentrated, fat and unctuous, showing sweet flavors of raspberry and blackberry confit, smoked bacon, molasses, fruitcake and candied orange peel. Finishes with excellent lift and defining acidity for a wine of such ripeness and power.

Not a wine for everyone

My expectations on this wine were very high with RP's 99 rating. It's clear to me now what RP values and it doesn't really match my definition of perfection. This wine has powerful intesity, concentration, a great nose, but I found it to be too much. The word "hedonistic" comes to mind. It was decanted for a couple of hours. It's almost liqueur like, with high acidity, maybe hedonistic is the right term. I would rate it 92 points overall.
