Wine Advocate #146 (Apr 2003)  Robert Parker 91 points  Drink 2005-2015. A limited production St.-Emilion, this estate has developed a considerable following for its user-friendly, lavishly fruited and oaked wines. From bottle, the 2000 Ferrand Lartigue has weight, expansiveness, structure as well as tannin, suggesting 1-2 years of cellaring is warranted. Cassis, licorice, tobacco smoke, and sweet fruit provide an expressive, medium to full-bodied personality. Long, pure, and impressively built, it will be drinkable between 2005-2015. This is accessible enough to drink young, but it has more structure than previous vintages. 
 
Wine Advocate #139 (Feb 2002)  Robert Parker (90-92) points  Drink 2004-2015. Showing better than it did last year, the 2000 Ferrand Lartigue has added weight, expansiveness, structure as well as tannin, suggesting 2-3 years of cellaring is warranted. Cassis, licorice, tobacco smoke, and sweet fruit provide an expressive, medium to full-bodied personality. Long, pure, and impressively built, it will be drinkable between 2004-2015.
