Wine Advocate
At present, this structured, backward 2005 is dominated by the vintage’s substantial tannins. It exhibits a saturated ruby/purple color, a reticent but promising bouquet of sweet black fruits intermixed with weedy tobacco, licorice, and leather characteristics. Medium-bodied and powerful, with excruciating tannin, but promising potential, patience is most definitely required. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2030.
Score: 90. —Robert Parker, April 2008.Wine Enthusiast
89-91 Barrel sample. While there are superripe fruit aromas, the structure of this wine is totally solid. Somewhere lurking under the shell is huge black fruit, but now it is dark and very dry.
Score: 90. —Roger Voss, June 01, 2006.Wine Spectator
Blackberry with light spice and toasted oak character. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a sweet, ripe fruit finish.
