Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jan 2006
(includes bits of merlot, petit verdot and cabernet franc) Full ruby. Aromas of cassis, violet, licorice candy, bitter chocolate and spicy oak, with hints of band-aid and mint. Primary, minerally and firm-edged, with repeating notes of licorice and violet lifting the cherry pit flavor. Intriguing wine, but falls down a bit on the finish, which is dried somewhat by oak tannins.
