Avis d'expert

93 / 100

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(1-1998).
An explosively rich, exotic, fruity Montrose, the 1995 displays even more fat and extract than the 1996. There is less Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1995 blend, resulting in a fuller-bodied, more accessible and friendlier style. The wine exhibits an opaque blackrubypurple color, as well as a ripe nose of black fruits, vanillin, and licorice.

Jancis Robinson

(2-2011).
Bright crimson. Very grown-up minerals sort of nose with lots of development. Lift and lightness on this wine with real confidence and it’s ready to drink. Perhaps not an enormous depth of fruit but nice balance and very refreshing. Quite racy. And then sinewy, dry, angular on the finish. There is real lift in this wine but the tannins are a bit dry.

This wine seems almost young. The nose is an explosion of red fruits. In the mouth it is powerful, elegant and balanced. We feel it can still change but is also perfect to drink now.

Jean-Marc Quarin

(10-2006).
Intense color, rather young. Discreet nose. The wine must be gently shaken in order to detect the hint of rose and animal notes. The style does not bring to mind Bordeaux. Upon entry in the mouth the wine tightens up, goes on to offer a certain breadth, but ends by failing to express certain nuances in the tannin. There's a slight dryness to it. Fuzzy aromas, the tannins lack suppleness. This was confirmed by the second bottle which had a similar profile to that of the first, ending between acidity and dryness.
