Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate Neal Martin (4/2007) Score: 86-88
A deep garnet core. A high toned, Merlot-scented nose with a touch of Xmas cake and Morello. Moderate definition. The palate is medium-bodied, toasty with a touch of bitter chocolate. A little "furry" but there is certain good concentration. Blackberry and cherries on the finish. A solid Carruades but no great shakes.
Wine Spectator (1/1/2007) Score: 85-88
Fresh and fruity, with pretty berry and chocolate character. Medium body, soft tannins and a medium, slightly short finish. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Fine purple red, fresh cassis nose with violets, lovely fragrant fruit, ripe even jammy attack, great elegance on the finish. 2011-20. |
