Notes:

Burghound Tasting note:
The only wine in the range to display even moderate reduction but not enough to completely hide the dark briar, spice and pinot fruit aromas laced with warm earth and hints of smoke and game while leading to sweet, sappy, intense and structured flavors that offer good if not outstanding concentration yet the power, length, balance and overall punch are most impressive. As it usually is, this is a serious wine though more elegant than normal and finishes with a classically dry backend. 90-92

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 06
Good medium red. Pure aromas of raspberry, cherry and minerals. Fat, ripe and sweet but light on its feet, with a stony character giving an impression of energy to the wine. This builds impressively on the back end, finishing with substantial sweet tannins and superb length. 90-92 points
