                                | 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)
