From Jay Miller, The Wine Advocate, 12/28/07:

96 pts. Nearly black in color, it coats the glass with glycerin.  Its super aromas of violets, spice box, cedar, tobacco, espresso, black cherry, and black raspberry leap from the glass.  The wine is full-bodied, concentrated, and possesses layers of complex flavors.  This hedonistic effort will benefit from at least 4-6 years of cellaring and should drink well through 2025.
