Rated vintages

    92–94. Barrel sample. Very dense and rich with fine, tarry tannins that float amidst the ripe blackberry flavors. The wine is structured but full in body with a rich, opulent feel.

    90-92. Barrel sample. Big and serious, with a well-balanced wood and spice character. The tense tannins provide a nervy, tight counterpoint.
