ROBERT PARKER "CLASSIC 96" RATING: "This wine has fleshed out beautifully.
The final blend (84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet
Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec) has a deep purple color, a beautifully
sweet nose of blackberries and cassis intermixed with some meatiness, smoke,
and a touch of pain grille as well as notes of espresso and licorice.
Full-bodied, rich, with decent acidity, excellent delineation, and
moderately high tannin, this is a beauty that should evolve for 25-30+ years
It is no wimpish wine at 15.2% natural alcohol, but that is buried beneath a
cascade of gorgeous fruit and glycerin. This wine should be cruising along
brilliantly in 2030+.
