Critic tasting note: (2001 vintage) "Closed on the nose, with traces of mint and black pepper showing through. In the mouth, it's subtle, with juicy black plum flavors and a great, lasting grip on the palate. I could be crazy, but is there a Grand Marnier-esque orange liqueur note on the finish? Winemaker Chris Ringland calls this wine “a baby,” and suggests aging for at least 4–5 years." - 93/100, Wine Enthusiast
