In terms of sheer succulence and purity of fruit, this is one of the best wines I've tasted in 2005. Oak notes are very subdued, and thankfully so, as the fruit is so gorgeously ripe and flavorful that it is best left at center stage. Very rich and deeply flavored, the wine features absolutely delicious flavors of dark berries and black cherries, with very soft texture and a long, lush finish. 93
