According to Robert Parker: "this 2006 reveals notions of crushed rocks, and sweet kirsch and raspberry notes in a medium to full-bodied, elegant style. Its elevated tannins suggest that this wine may not turn out as well as I had hoped. Good purity and potential complexity are there, but the tannins are worrisome. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020?" (02/09) K&L's notes on 01/23/09: exotic Asian spices, very perfumey wine. Clyde loves this!
