Michael Broadbent

(04-2000)
Soft gentle and rich to look at, smell and taste. Fragrant. A lovely wine.

Wine Spectator

(10-1994)
A pretty, ripe style with cherry, berry and tobacco aromas and flavors. Full-bodied and fruity with firm tannins and a fresh finish.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(Ed 1998)
Medium rubygarnet-colored with some amber at the edge, this wine exhibits a pronounced streak of roasted herbs, olives, and weedy tobacco. Some sweet berry fruit does make an appearance in this medium-bodied, fragile, soft yet seductively charming wine. While not a blockbuster or terribly concentrated, it is round, savory, and complex.
