Bob Campbell 93 Points!
Bob Campbell 93 Points!"The usual criticsm for this incredibly dense wine is "it's a very impressive red, but it's not Pinot Noir". I believe that time will restore any appearant loss of varietal integrity. Furthermore I've put my money where my mouth is by investing in several vintages inclduing the impressive 2003. My notes read "ripe, classy and complex - accessible despite its impressive dimensions". This is not a fruit bomb, its a time bomb."

"This is another typically low-yield '03 wine, the fruit for which was brought in at about 1.2 T/a. The colour is a dense, rich ruby with an almost purple edge. Its nose is both subtle clove and cinnamon tones. The palate is soft and rounded, with obvious concentration. Ripe fruit tannins are buried in unctuous fruit - violets, red and black berries, liquorice - and a slightly spicy aftertaste. The hallmarks of the wine are concentration with elegance and delicacy of expression."
