Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : A beautiful effort for the vintage, the evolved dense ruby/purple-colored 2002 is already performing well. It offers smoky, toasty oak, jammy black currant, cranberry, and kirsch aromas, medium body, sweet tannin, and fine purity, length, and harmony. Enjoy it now and over the next 12+ years. Tasted 2005.
Wine Spectator : Balanced and refined, with tobacco and berry character. Medium body. Long, silky finish. This shows harmony. Almost 92-95. Tasted 2003.
Blend : 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
