"Gorgeous aromas of currants,berries,vanilla,and licorice.Full-bodied,with ultra-fine tannins and a wonderful texture.It goes on for minutes.Breathtaking.Best ever from here.Almost 95-100".
(92-94 Points).
James Suckling. (WineSpectator.com March 2006).
"Very aromatic,showing blackberry and currant aromas with some licorice.Full-bodied,with super-silky tannins,and a rich,decadent,fruity finish.Caresses the palate.Stylish and opulent.Best after 2011".
(93 Points).
James Suckling. (WineSpectator.com February 2008).
"This Pauillac,which is often under most consumer's radar,has come through with a strong effort in 2005.It possesses a deep ruby/purple hue as well as aromas and flavors of creme de cassis,road tar,cedar,truffles,and licorice.Full-bodied and fleshy,with good acidity,a powerful,masculine mouthfeel,sweet tannin,and good structure as well as purity.It should hit its peak in 4-5 years and last for two decades".
(88-90 Points).
