  Complete, good structure, integrated wood. Dusty, rustic but overpowering tannins. Shouldn't be approached for 5 years - but I don't think there's enough fruit to support the aging. The 2005 showed much better promise. An averall disappointment from a generally undervalued producer - in my opinion.

  Really good, but certainly not up to the fabulous 2005 - Dark red, medium bodied with a nose of blackfruit, plum, cassis, leather and vanilla, young, slightly austere, dusty tannic structure, needs a bit of time, good potential, dry, tight on the palate with good length (88 Points).

  Color is bordeaux typical red. In the nose we have leather and even rubber but then suddenly the fruit reveals itself with raspberry and blueberry. The rubber in the mouth is slightly disturbing but luckily there is enough fruit to make this wine more than enjoyable.
  I wonder if the food that accompanied the wine gave it that rubber touch.
