99 POINTS: James Suckling – “Like listening to cool mellow rock ‘n’ roll. Extraordinary aromas of violets and dark fruits such as blueberries and currants. I can’t get over the aromas here. Then it goes to minerals with just a hint of bay leaf. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins with a beautiful softness and beautifulness. I love the balance and harmony to this with bright acidity. I would drink this before the 2007. Just under 1,000 cases of 12 but all sold in threes. Reminds me of Leoville Las Cases but with Napa brightness. Enjoy or hold for a long time.”
