95 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2006

($354) Ruby with a bright rim. Remarkably complex nose combines cherry, raspberry liqueur, bitter chocolate, iron, graphite, cigar box, fruitcake, cured tobacco and smoked meat (I'm probably missing something). Deep, lush and staggeringly concentrated, the dense fruit flavors showing great energy and focus; this is the kind of clarity one finds in the greatest vintages of Chateau Margaux. Ridiculously sweet, fresh and long, ending with a dramatic display of sweet, concentrated and sharply delineated red and dark fruits. Just 2,000 bottles were imported.
