93 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2006

($115) Inky ruby. Room-filling aromas of fresh raspberry, strawberry jam, sandalwood, potpourri, yellow rose and minerals, with hints of white pepper and exotic tobacco. Incredibly sweet and lush, the deep, powerful red fruit flavors brightly accented by fresh acidity and tangy minerality. Finishes with fully absorbed tannins, impeccable balance and superb purity and intensity. Another outstanding wine from this exceptional vintage. (European Cellars, Charlotte, NC)
