Tasting note: Dark color, with a spiced nose of cloves and cardamom. Tar too. Full-bodied, with round and velvety tannins and a rich, fruity aftertaste. Gorgeous young wine. (92-95pts. JS, Wine Spectator)

Tasted: March 2010
Score: 92-95
Drink: N/A

Tasting note: The renaissance of this estate is on the move. For the second consecutive year the estate produced a wine that is tastier, has a better constitution, and this year, creamier and more precise. Very good length. (86pts. JMQ, Jean-Marc Quarin)

Tasted: April 2010
Score: 86
Drink: N/A

Tasting note: This solid, somewhat monolithic effort is better than usual, and it’s good to see this estate moving in the right direction. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, it exhibits a dark purple color, dusty tannins, a hint of herbs, and plenty of power and richness. Consume it over the next 10 years. (Tasted once.) (84-86pts. RP, Wine Advocate)
