Wine Spectator: Teases with subtle flavor nuances wrapped in a tight, tannic, austere package, with a core of beefy, leathery currant, sage and tobacco flavors. Hard-edged tannins on the fini...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good pale color. Subtle aromas of grapefruit, lemon, acacia flower and musky quinine. Firmly built, even a bit youthfully austere, but there's good breadth and minerality here...

Wine Spectator: Scents of red currant, red licorice, wild berry, sage and fresh earth fold together nicely in this ripe, intense, tightly wound young Cabernet. Well-focused, deep and complex,...
