"Given his very traditional style of winemaking, my instincts suggest these wines probably are least impressive in their first several years of life, and that certainly seemed to be confirmed by the best vintages in the vertical. Nevertheless, this wine is loaded with potential. The wine exhibits a saturated black ruby/purple color, a superb nose of blackberries, relatively high tannin, a full body, and a closed, dense, chewy constitution. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020."

"Elegant, finer wine of tightness, suppleness and style, whose sweet bright fruit and smoky cedary/leathery/chocolate complexity is set against a fine, balanced and tight-knit backbone of tannins. Drink 2000-2004+."
Jeremy Oliver, OnWine.

"Just gorgeous. Still with a warm mouth feel and a long lived bouquet of cloves, berries, mushroom, game and cigar box that lingered even an hour after the wine was served. The tannin and oak has stepped aside for the beautifully developed fruit to envelop the mouth."
