94 points and #28 on Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Wines of 2008: "A powerhouse of a wine that promises huge fruit flavors, this is a time bomb of richness, which will break through those dark tannins and the closed, dense texture." (11/1/2008) 94 points from Wine & Spirits Magazine: "A selection of the best bunches from vines more than 80 years old, this is youthfully tight and unyielding, a dark red wine compressed into cool spice. Air brings out the complexity and supple elegance of the fruit. The wine turns ornate, with layers of flavor from dark cherry to mulberry and porcini mushroom. Higher up, there's a floral character that plays with the peppery spice." (04/08) 92 points from Wine Spectator: "Concentrated blackberry aromas and flavors dominate this very juicy, fresh-tasting red. Strong notes of dark chocolate and French roast fill the finish. Drink now through 2012. 150 cases imported." (02/08) And 90 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
