Critic Reviews
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate (June 2015)
Loads of pure blueberry, blackberry and cassis fruit are present along with a hint of licorice and background oak. It is full-bodied, ripe, and excruciatingly fresh, vigorous and exuberant.
James Suckling - WineSpectator.com (March 2006)
Glorious aromas of currants, blackberries and cherries with hints of vanilla and cedar. Full-bodied, with exuberant fruit. Velvety tannins. Soft and round mouthfeel. This is supercharged with fruit. Wonderful purity of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar (June 2008)
Good full ruby-red. Complex, enticing aromas of black raspberry, licorice, minerals, bitter chocolate, lead pencil and pungent cedar; just this side of exotic. Wonderfully silky, sweet and thick, with a powerful minerality framing the currant, graphite and spice flavors. This boasts superb inner-mouth energy and great length, with the full, ripe tannins totally enrobed by the wine's mid-palate richness.
Decanter Magazine - Decanter Magazine (July 2008)
"Big, concentrated, extracted nose. Very powerful. Very different- black, pruney, raisiny, thick, with tannins to match. WOW!"
