Avis d'expert

Michael Broadbent

I was taken by the wine's glorious young fruit in April 1998. Crisp. Oaky. Most recently one of the deepest and most intense of the 1997s at the MW tasting. Nose a bit unknit but rich on the palate with dry finish.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(4-2000)
Forty percent of the harvest made it into this flattering, delicious wine with abundant charm and herb-tinged, blackberry and cherry fruit. A dark ruby color is accompanied by a medium-bodied, appealing St.-Estephe.

Wine Spectator

(1-2000)
Serious concentration of fruit in this wine, with plenty of chocolate and berry character and a hint of dried herbs on the nose. Full- to medium-bodied, with plenty of fruit and a velvety texture.
