Critics Ratings
'This is simply pure fruit and terroir. After a slightly funky nose, the palate settles into concentrated cherry, plum, sandalwood and sweet leather notes. Keeps building on the palate to a fresh finish that goes on and on. Best from 2015 through 2030.' - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 94/100 (May 2008)
'Relatively pale, light nose. Easy, round and supple with lots of easy, quite simple, fruit. Lots of lift, not for those who seek mass. Good tension though.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Aug 2007)
