Critic tasting note: (2000 vintage) "Tasting older than its true age, this medium bodied, black cherry tobacco scented, earthy, soft wine is in its prime time, drinking window. The oak is not obtrusive. This is not a wine for long term again. No hurry to drink it, but I'd finish any bottles over the next 7-10 years. 91 Points" - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
