Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #146 (4/2003) Rating: 87 points Drink: 2003-2013
One can find little fault with this medium-bodied, mainstream, charming, open-knit, soft Pauillac. It is dark ruby in color, with notes of cassis, currants, tobacco leaf, cedar, and licorice. Round, medium-bodied, and low in acidity, it is best drunk over the next decade. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2003) Score: 89
A dense wine, with plum and tobacco character. Full body, chewy tannins and a mouthpuckering finish. Slightly rustic, but solid. Best after 2010. 12,500 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating: 
Rich and powerful. Super flavour. Lovely balance. Totally ripe and smooth, finish lingers. |
