Critic tasting note: "This isMerlotCabernet FrancCabernet SauvignonMalbec andPetit Verdot. The careful blend and great vineyard sources are somewhat obscured by the almost-alcohol, and some stemmy flavors manage to creep into the finish. Herb, barrel spices and rather austere red fruits put the emphasis on the Cabernet components." - 89/100, Wine Enthusiast
