Concentrated with rich black fruit. Last review complained that it lacked necessary acid balance, but this one seems a bit more balanced. This wine still has years left in it; not fading at all.

This is a big, creamy, berry infused, oaky mouthful. Still youthful but maturing. Bursting with juice. Full mouthfeel but not heavy. Oh so smooth. Really impressive for its style. Happy to drink before we head off to Napa. But I can not drink this style often. (93)

Still has many years left, wish I waited. Restrained compared to the ‘05 we had a few months ago. Going to sit on our remaining bottle.

Pop and pour. Firm and bright, this still has evolution in store although delicious now. A powerful crowd pleaser with great structure and purity.
