Tasting Notes & Reviews:
"Mint, blackberry, and currant on the nose follow through to a full body, with soft velvety tannins and a new wood and ripe fruit aftertaste. Tight and firm, but wait until after 2012 to pull the cork." 94/100, James Suckling, Mar'2011
"A powerhouse effort from this small classified growth St.-Julien estate, the 2003's thick, unctuous-looking purple color is accompanied by an explosive perfume of cigar tobacco, melted licorice, incense, creme de cassis, and spice box. Opulent, full-bodied, and rich with firm tannin and higher glycerin and alcohol than usual, it should be cellared for 4-5 years and enjoyed over the following two decades." 93+/100 Robert Parker
