CRITIC REVIEWS

Stephen Tanzer

Good ruby-red. Currant, chocolate and mocha on the nose, along with some cooler herbal notes. Juicy, minerally and bright, with a slightly weedy herbaceous character and firm acidity. Ultimately less floral and less dense than the promising 2004.

Neal Martin

Tasted blind at Farr's 2002 Bordeaux tasting. Reticent on the nose: tar, iodine, underbrush at first, but it's leading you down the wrong path because some plush blueberry and damson fruits begin to emerge with aeration. Ripe, full-bodied palate that is plush in style but with good clarity and poise, a sense of purite that is very attractive, leading to a focused finish. Excellent. Tasted October 2009.

Dark crimson. Some developed fruit but lots of acidity and even a little austerity. Something to drink with fish?
