                                | Tasting Note: | Wine Advocate #153 (2004-6)   Rating:78 points  Drink:2004-2012 Cos Labory’s weak, medium ruby color has more in common with a washed out Burgundy than Bordeaux. Hints of compost, herbs, damp earth, and soil scents are followed by a stretched, lean, austere claret to drink during its first 7-8 years of life. - Robert Parker
 
 Wine Spectator(3/31/2004)   Score:87
 A good wine with plum and berry character and an underlying citrus flavor. Medium-bodied, with firm tannins and a berry, lemon rind and light oak aftertaste. Slightly aggressive. Best after 2006. 6,665 cases made. –JS
 
 Decanter Rating:
  Big colour, rather jammy, sweet nose, same rich jammy sweetness on palate, soft acidity. Good for the short term, but not impressive.
