Score 89/100 · Drink 2002-2012, Robert Parker, Apr 2000

This opaque ruby/purple-colored wine offers copious quantities of jammy black cherries and lavish, smoky new oak. Fat, fleshy, and rich, with sweet tannin, medium to full body, and gorgeous concentration and fruit, it can be drunk now, but promises to be even better with 2-3 more years of bottle age. It will last for 12+ years.

Captivating blackberry, mineral and dark chocolate character. Medium- to full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a fruity finish. Lovely. Drink now through 2005. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2000
