Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate#153(6/2004) Rating: 87 points Drink: 2004 - 2011
Elegant, pleasant black currant aromas intermixed with cedar, spice, and oak emerge from this medium-bodied 2001 along with tell-tale cassis and cherry fruit. Soft tannin and low acidity suggest it should be drunk over the next 6-7 years. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2004) Score: 88
This is a pleasing young red with blackberry, licorice and vanilla character, medium body and a silky finish. A slightly forgotten château. Best after 2006. 11,000 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Full, rich colour, rather meaty, extracted nose, quite ripe and full, but lacking complexity, rather four-square. (Tasted en primeur) |
