Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate#158 (4/2005) Rating: 87 points Drink: 2005-2015
A reasonably successful wine for this vintage that is showing more of a St.-Julien elegance without the typical power of Pauillac, the wine has a dark plum/ruby color, a slightly earthy, herb-tinged, raspberry and black currant-scented nose, silky tannins, medium body, and a pleasant finish. Drink it over the next decade. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (1/1/2007) Score: 83
Rather herbal on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a medium finish. Some fruit underneath. Perfect with lamb, but disappointing for this producer. Drink now. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Fine oaky nose, intense, smoky, elegant. Rich, supple, opulent, a big lush style, ripe tannins, chocolatey, has weight and power backed by excellent fruit. Drink 2009-25. (17.5 points) |
