92 WS. "Beautiful, ripe, lush and opulent, with loads of firm but ripe tannins, lots of clean and pure fruit. Full-bodied, it sparkles with cassis, blackberry and wild raspberry flavors. Some toasted, smoky oak notes add complexity, and a bit of heat, on the finish. A seductive package." Wine Spectator, Sep 30, 1998 |
