Rating: 93/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 108, May/June 2003 ($75; a blend of 50% cabernet franc and 50% merlot; both the H Block and Variation One are from Hudson Vineyard fruit) Full red-ruby. Explosively aromatic nose melds blueberry, cassis, red cherry, violet, minerals, brown sugar and a tobacco leaf note suggestive of a Cohiba robusto. Very intense and densely packed, with urgent, penetrating red berry, bitter chocolate, mineral and rose petal flavors. Superb thickness leavened by bright acidity. Wonderfully complex, gripping wine, with a firmly tannic, very long back end. This grew more and more complex as it opened in the glass.

Rating: 18/20 - As reviewed by Jancis Robinson Deep crimson. Deeper than Variation One and fuller. A bit more muscular. Beautifully balanced still. More of a tenor than a dancer. Lovely stuff in reserve. Fine tannins.
