Modest aromas of blackberry and charred wood. Medium-bodied and classically styled. Still moderately tannic, could pair with a steak. In fine shape, but probably best over the next few years. Correct, if a bit boring. Nice savory and mineral character. 88

Dynamic smell of sweet spice, And good amount of structure, and ripe and open too. With the '11 vintage they are going to add a "qua canon" which is going effect this how - not in any way at all. It will be its own label and its own fruit. Ok the idea is to elevate the quality of everything.

Silky smooth, with smoky dark red and black fruit. Tannin evident but integrated. Really nice. 91-92.

Lovely. Smooth. Structured but not heavy on the tannins. Berries but not sour or candy. Perfectly balanced.

100% Merlot; darker garnet; strong oak but should integrate well, almost stewed fruit, plummy, tobacco; good.
