點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：1481

Very dry and rather austere now, with sour red cherry and licorice flavors, enlivened with tart, citrusy acidity. Elegant rather than charming, and could develop bottle complexity after 2011 or so. ——S.H.(11/1/2009)—— 87

Chuck Ortman is one of the few to source grapes from this esteemed vineyard. The ’04 is a giant step ahead of the ’03, suggesting an increasing mastery of the grapes. This inky dark wine is hugely ripe, with red and black fruit-filled pastry flavors, yet dry, silky and balanced. Should develop additional complexities by 2008. ——S.H.(12/15/2006)—— 90
