Critic Reviews
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate (March 2012)
It offers up an exquisite aromatic concoction of blackberries, plums, Asian soy, forest floor, truffles and graphite. Along with its stunning concentration, remarkably thick, juicy mid-palate and unbelievable complexity, its viscosity and opulence take this wine to new heights.
James Suckling - WineSpectator.com (April 2010)
Offers ripe plum, with hints of peach, turning to violet and black olive on the nose. Fascinating aromas. Full-bodied, featuring chewy tannins that turn polished and silky. Long and flavorful at the finish. Refined power.
James Molesworth - Wine Spectator Insider (January 2012)
There is a lovely plush feel here, with roasted tobacco and fig notes carried by velvety tannins. Deceptively dense, with darker currant and anise notes blossoming through the finish, which still manages to stay supple and rounded. This steadily opens in the glass.
James Lawther MW - Decanter.com (April 2010)
In the same mould as the 2005. Powerful, firm and long ageing with ripe, attractive fruit. Good depth and concentration. Rich, smooth tannic extract.
