Wine Spectator
This ripe red boasts juicy but focused crushed blackberry, plum and black currant fruit, woven with alluring toasty vanilla, espresso and black licorice notes. The lengthy, pure finish has a nice underlying minerality. Drink now through 2012. 92 points

About as dense, lush and ripe as you can get without teetering over the edge. Along the way there's mint, tobacco, cedar and heavy raisin/plum fruit aromas. Big and broad across the tongue, with sweet boysenberry, cassis and chocolate flavors. This is to wine what Guinness Stout is to beer.

Inky-violet. Exhilarating, kaleidoscopic aromas of musky blackberry, boysenberry, Indian spices, mocha, violet and licorice. Compellingly velvety and sweet on entry, then shockingly vibrant and delineated in the mid-palate, further enhanced by explosive dark fruit compote and floral pastille flavors lifted by tangy acidity. Extremely rich but there's an unlikely weightless quality to this wine. Completely stains the palate with dense dark fruit and finishes with superb, floral-accented persistence. I also had the chance to taste the 2005 version, which is closed up tight right now but shows excellent concentration. The excellent 2008, which might be released next year, is showing even more aromatic complexity than the '07 right now but lacks this wine's richness and heft. This bottling is only made in years that are deemed exceptional and there are 1,500 cases of it to go around.
