"Dense, deep colour, rich, succulent blackcurrant fruit, violets and irises on the nose, balance and length, quite discreet at the moment, unforced concentration of fruit, all elegance and potential. Drink 2012-30. (18 points)"

"92-94 points: Proprietor Anthony Barton continues to fashion beautifully elegant yet powerful, masculine, virile wines meant for long-term aging. In addition, he exhibits a humility in pricing that is both refreshing and noteworthy. The outstanding 2004 comes close to equaling the spectacular 2000. It boasts a dense purple color as well as aromas of forest floor, underbrush, creme de cassis, new saddle leather, and background oak. There is superb intensity for a 2004, wonderful sweetness, and a surprisingly fragrant perfume. However, the beautiful bouquet does not mean this wine will be drinkable young as it will require 5-7 years of cellaring."

"90-93 points: Good medium ruby. Perfumed aromas of cassis, black cherry, licorice and violet. Suave entry, then lush, dense, concentrated and seamless, with terrific inner-mouth perfume and palate coverage. Subtly sweet flavors of black cherry, tobacco and minerals are framed by harmonious acidity. Finishes with very suave, horizontal, fine-grained tannins and terrific subtle mineral length."
