91–93. Barrel sample. A ripe and juicy wine that is very fruity, open and opulent. It's generous with a soft character, yet packed with jammy, Merlot-derived characteristics.

90-92 Barrel sample. Rich and smooth, a former garage wine turned respectable. It is powerful but very smooth, with sweet damsons and juicy berry fruit. The wood is well integrated.
