Wine Advocate #164 (4/2006) Rating: 91 points Drink: 2006 - 2024
This is another Margaux estate that has become re-energized and is now producing wines consistent with its 150-year-old classification. The dark plum/ruby-colored 2003's stunning aromatics include flamboyant notes of plums, cedar, burning embers, and dried herbs. Full-bodied, elegant, layered, and rich, yet filled with finesse and delicacy, it is surprisingly soft, round, and gentle. While appealing at present, it will evolve for 15-18 years. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2006) Score: 90
Aromas of blackberry, cherry and light toasted oak. Full-bodied, with soft tannins and a medium finish. Pretty wine. Balanced and refined. Best after 2011. 12,500 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating：
Sweet, creamy, hay-like - intriguing mix of warmth and underripeness. Lovely sweetness and flesh on the palate, rounded tannins, easy to drink. Rink 2008-11. |
