critic reviews
88+/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Medium red-ruby. Redcurrant and nutty oak. Less dense than the 2004, showing a distinctly cooler black cherry flavor and a slightly tart edge. Quite tight at this early stage of its life in bottle, with the tannins a bit sullen today.

89/100Robert Parker,Robert Parker Wine Advocate
This relatively austere but pleasant second wine achieved 13.3% natural alcohol. It is attractive, medium-bodied, and ideal for drinking over the next 7-8 years.
