Parker Review:
This deep garnetcolored wine has an opaque middle with light amber hues beginning to creep in at the edge. The bold, flamboyant nose of roasted coffee, chocolate, black olives, sweet oak, and black fruits explodes from the glass. Fullbodied, muscular, and highly extracted, with noticeably coarse tannin, this is an inyourface, aggressive, highly concentrated wine that can be drunk now, but ideally needs 12 more years of cellaring. It should keep for another 15 to 20 years.
