Dried out right now but may come around. The astringent tannins are juicy in some ways, focusing a mid-weighted palate of red fruit scents. Gives me faith. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Drink now or hold. JS 90
A moderate vintage that is delivering a wine with good shape and style to it. There is a lot of cassis and red plums, as well as some really attractive cedary and violety notes. The merlot shines here. It also shows graphite, dark stony notes and fine, fluid tannins. A succulent and fine tannin finish. Sweet mulberries and plums, too. A great wine. JH

Very subtle and refined on the nose with currants and orange peel as well as hints of currant bush. Medium- to full-bodied with creamy tannins that fell the mouth. Silky texture. Succulent and beautiful to drink. JS
