Lovely cherry and herb aromas, a faint perfume of prunes and raisins, but not out of balance. Drinks very sweet in cherry and mocha fruit. Perfect now, soft, gentle, supple, complex. Lovely cassis finish, dry, pure. 1 Note

Not half the wine of the remarkable '97. Smells oaky and of black cherries. Taste of dried herbs, cherries, coffee. Dry, with a chunky, chewy mouhtfeel and unresolved, awkward tannins. Shows some elegance and finesse. Probably best now-2008. 1 Note

Young, dark, and smells hard and unyielding. Oak, black stone fruits and berries. Very extracted, jammy and acidic. Sweet in fruit and oak. Somewhat astringent. Needs time, or extensive decanting. 1 Note

Young and so tannic, but the fruit is massive and intense, and the balance suggests aging. Blackberries, cassis and oak mesh perfectly in this dry wine. The alcohol is creeping up there, at 14.8%. Best now with very rich fare, or hold through 2012. 1 Note

Gorgeous aromas of blackberry tart, vanilla and oak lead to strong, rich fruity flavors of cherries and blackberries. So ripe, it finishes almost sweet. Rich in tannins, and compelling for its depth and harmony. 1 Note

92–94 Rich, powerful, compelling, with a good marriage of toasty oak, blackcurrant fruit and finely-ground tannins. Strong, but balanced and elegant. Definitely cellar quality. 1 Note

Polished, rich, elegant and supple, with rich cherry and blackberry flavors and a long, spicy finish. Has got to be the result of careful selection. 1 Note

This big, fat, sexy wine is just what Merlot is supposed to be. It’s softly accessible, yet complex with rich, sweet tannins and a delicious array of cassis, plum, cherry and herb flavors. As good as it is, it possesses a feminine complexity that suggests pairing it with food. 1 Note

Just beautiful, a wine that’s so rich and delicious, and yet so balanced. It oozes gorgeous flavors of cassis and blackberry pie, blueberry, white chocolate truffle, Kahlúa, and smoky spices, and the tannins are amazingly soft, sweet and complex. All this opulence drinks perfectly dry, with a good backbone of acidity. 1 Note
