Deep colour. Overripe nose. Very out of balance and aggressive. No! All over the place. (JR)

Score 89/100 · Drink 2004-2015, Robert Parker, Apr 2002

The aromatic, oaky, modern-styled 1999 Kirwan boasts a deep ruby/purple color as well as considerable size, depth, and muscle (atypical for the vintage), abundant texture, and loads of flavor (primarily licorice, cassis, and earth). Anticipated maturity: 2004-2015.

Wonderful aromas of cassis and berries, with hints of spices. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a delicious fruity aftertaste. Harmonious wine. Kirwan makes serious wine now. Best after 2004. 7,330 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2002
