Notes:
Allen Meadows, Burghound, January 2007
(a 1 ha mix of younger and older vines that average about 50+ years of age). Extremely primary black fruit and earth aromas that are so backward as to still be a bit raw though the rich, full and massive flavors are powerful, robust and muscled with so much mid-palate sap that the extremely firm tannic spine is almost, if not completely masked. However, as it always does, the tannins will come out with time and I expect that this will always have a certain chewy quality and will require at least a decade of time in bottle to really begin to round out. Wonderful potential but for the patient. 91-93 points and and Sweet Spot Outstanding!
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 07
Very good red-ruby color. The nose shows superb lift to the pungent mineral and black raspberry aromas. Silky-sweet and rich, offering compelling clarity and minerality and lovely finesse. Not particularly black or chocolatey in character, and not at all a monster in this normally powerful vintage, even though the wine's tight tannins call for eight to ten years of patience. This will make an outstanding bottle. 91-94 points
