Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #153 (6/2004) Rating: 89 points Drink: 2004-2017
Medium deep ruby/purple-colored with a sweet perfume of cedar wood, chocolate, oak, and black currants, this medium-bodied, attractive, soft Pauillac is ideal for drinking now and over the next 12-13 years. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2004) Score: 89
A balanced and refined Pauillac with currants, berries and light vanilla character. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Best after 2008. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Really good colour, a big, meaty wine for this château, ripe small berry fruit, rich and rounded with good structure, quite tannic but well balanced, really very good. (Tasted en primeur) |

Western food: This wine will perfectly accompany tasty red meat dishes, and poultry cooked with sauce, but will also be enjoyable with abalone.
