95 pts. Robert Parker - 2005 Vintage

The grapes obtain great complexity, structure and personality from the limy soil and the immense expresision of aromas come from the soil containg granite. It is a wine which has an intense red garnet color with purple hints. It is strong and robust, with great structure, very good body and balanced. It is unctuous and has prominent aromas related to black fruit, ripe plums, blackberries, and a refined bouquet of violets. In the mouth it has a velvety finish.
