Wine Advocate #153(6/2004) Rating: 93 points Drink: 2004-2019
A very successful effort for this vintage in the Medoc, this deep ruby/purple-colored Pauillac exhibits class/nobility/breed along with black currant liqueur, licorice, and incense notes. Sweet, expansive, fleshy, and medium to full-bodied, with good structure, ripe tannin, and a long, 30-35 second finish, it can be drunk now, but will be even better in 2-3 years; it will last for 12-15 years. I had this wine three separate times out of bottle, and it is performing significantly better than it did from cask. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2004) Score: 90
Dark-colored, with floral and lanolin aromas with hints of fruit. Full-bodied, with chunky tannins and a long finish. A bit short and austere. Needs bottle age to show its full potential. Best after 2007. –JS
Chateau Taste:
A great Pauillac, in the classic tradition, a complex nose, marked , well-balanced aromas, great tannic strtngth. Ideal for cellaring.
