92 Points

Saturday, June 2, 2007 - Very nice sweet and lactic nose of licorice, soy sauce, indian spices and slightly smoky. This wine does not have the ripe or jammy nose of other 2003's...
In the mounth it is quite tannic with some black fruit, and some meaty and even gamey components.... The intriguing part is that after slow aeration of 24 hours the tannins were present but quite smoothly integrated... and after 1 hour in the glass they started to be more agressive with even some unpleasant greeness at the end... For me still a questionmark if this greeness will dissapear and will become a great wine... I would bet it will! (92?/100)
