87 Points James Halliday
Complex, intense blackberry and powerful oak aromas; however the mid-palate doesn't deliver up to the expectations. Drink to 2011.

"Dense, dark and powerful, a mighty mouthful of black pepper-scented black cherry, stewed plum and licorice flavors that echo beautifully on the long, fine-grained finish. Somehow it finds an elegant balance in the end. Best after 2005."
