89 Points

Thursday, March 16, 2006 - This is a fine medium to full bodied wine, in excellent balance, with moderate oak and elegant fruit, a nice earthy component and some minerality. Moderate tannins that are sweet and ripe, reasonably low acidity but not too low. Unfortunately it's quite closed right now and in need of a lot of years... decanted 2+ hrs then drunk over the following 2. Happy to have more coming but won't touch again for at least 6 years or so... definitely has a lot of upside, I could see this being a 92 or so when it comes around.
