Good full ruby-red. Plum, tar, cedar and a hint of herbaceousness on the nose. Plummy and moderately dense, with warm notes of tar and tobacco. Finishes with less ripe tannins that show a hint of dryness. - Stephen Tanzer
Spice and berry aromas follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a medium finish. Very tight. Needs time. Best after 2004. Wine Spectator
