This wine has completely shut down since it’s been bottled but exhibits a saturated ruby/purple color, high levels of tannin, and sweet, noble black currant fruit intermixed with some licorice, espresso roast, and pain grille. In the vernacular, it is closed for business, with medium to full body, high levels of tannin, and good acidity in a more structured, classic style than the 2003. This is a big, traditionally made wine to forget for a good 5-8 years. Score: 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate Maturity: 2011-2020 |

Tasted blind at Farr's 2002 Bordeaux tasting. This bottle has a very lifted, well-defined nose with blackberry, raspberry, earth and tar. Good definition. Autumn leaves. It has a ripe entry on the palate; chewy middle, solid, firm tannins, bright black fruits, redcurrant and cedar. Nice focus on the finish-discernibly good winemaking here but it needs more time. Tasted October 2009. Score: 90 Neal Martin, erobertparker.com |
