Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2008

Good full medium ruby. Complex, claret-like aromas of currant, loam, tobacco, dark chocolate and minerals. Sweet, dense and lively, with currant, tobacco and gravel flavors leading to a finish featuring big chocolatey tannins and lingering notes of minerals and cherry cough medicine. A harmonious Bordeaux blend based on 74% merlot.
