80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Deep glass-coating red, nose furry with concentrated fruit fighting to get out. Attack broad, but still only medium-weight, thick and long. Quite fresh acidity hardens up the tannins on the finish. L&S (Mar 2005)

The outstanding 2000 exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as a glorious nose of creosote, licorice, blackberry and cassis liqueur, medium to full body, tremendous texture, and impressive ripe fruit. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered after spending time in 80% new French oak, on its lees, with frequent batonnage as well as micro-oxygenation. This is serious stuff as well as a sleeper of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: now-2015. Rating: 90 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com (Jul 2011)
