This property has made some brilliant wines in recent vintages, including a monumental 2005 and super-delicious 2004. Another stunning offering, the 2006 possesses sweet cherry and cassis notes intermixed with spring flowers, underbrush, and licorice. Medium-bodied and beautifully concentrated with soft acids as well as sweet tannin, the overall impression is one of opulence and plushness, atypical characteristics for a 2006. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025. Robert Parker 92-94
Relatively light crimson with a pale rim. Warm and toasty - sweet and easy. Slightly chocolatey - could this be Cantenac Brown? [No!] Easy peasy without being desperately refreshing or exciting. Very competent drink though. Jancis Robinson MW 16.5
Lots of blackberry and spice character, with chocolate undertones. Full-bodied, with lovely fine tannins and a long finish. A textbook claret, with refinement yet power. Love the touch of sweet fruit on the end. Almost Burgundian. Lovely and pretty. James Suckling 92-94
