Score 87+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2009

(15% alcohol) Medium red-ruby. Blackberry, cassis, smoke, licorice and loam on the nose, along with a light nutty component. Dark and brooding, with a porty aspect to the black fruit, licorice and smoke flavors. Very concentrated wine but lacks real thrust and finishes with rather tough tannins. Not my style.

Score 90/100 · Robert Parker, Dec 2008

The 2006 is slightly more earthy, the tannins more pronounced, and the wine a bit smokier, without the 2005's admirable integration of the considerable tannin, but both are outstanding Cabernets, and probably the two best wines I have yet tasted from this small producer.
