Avis d'expert

93 / 100

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(12-2004) A fragrant, leafy nose of cigar-box, forest floor and dried herbs. Very "gentleman’s claret". The palate has moderate to low concentration, a little thin but balanced. Very old fashioned and traditional. Drying out on the finish so I would drink this sooner rather than later. Looking a bit frail.

3 / 5

Michael Broadbent

(12-1990) I wish I could say more. It is very drinkable but it is as if all its component parts have been through a sieve. Fragant, yes; lean yet some flesh; refreshing. Admittedly not tasted very recently.
