Avis d'expert

89 / 100

Jean-Marc Quarin

(05-2001) Dark red. Bordeaux. Good intensity. Vive. Pretty. Net. Average intensity. Fresh. End. Fruity. Discreet. Net. Average intensity. More liquorice. Entry into the mouth clean and supple, developing on a juicy body that does not lack a frame in this sometimes fluid vintage. Slow tannic juicy evolution with a ripe fruit taste and a rather elegant overall architecture. After this very pleasant course, the wine returns to a more lively Cabernet Sauvignon note in the finale, with depth in taste and length. Chocolate touch. Nice success. Wine of guard.

Jancis Robinson

(07-2008) Very deep red. Minerals/gravel on the nose. Round and supple but then a bit dry and unyielding on the palate. So pinched I wondered if the first bottle wasn’t borderline TCA? A second bottle suggests this is just very classic left bank bordeaux without an awful lot of fruit on the mid palate. Perfectly good club claret but probably not opulent enough to fly.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(05-2008) A deep garnet core with thin tawny rim. Looks quite mature for a 9-year old Cru Classe. The nose is open-knit, forward, a little muffled with notes of soy and liquorice. It lacks the complexity and breeding one would expect, ditto the palate that is expressive and forward, lacking real vigour and definitely in need of backbone. Soft tannins, a little diffuse with notes of blackberry, soy and a touch of pain grille. It is enjoyable in a facile kind of way, but not the kind of Bordeaux that reaffirms its reputation as the greatest wine region in the world.

86 / 100

Wine Spectator

(03-2002) A pleasant red, with berry and tobacco character. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a delicate finish.
