Blackberry and licorice aromas, with full body, very fine tannins and a long finish. Very silky. So much for jammy wines in 2003. Very fresh and refined. Best after 2008.
Score: 92 James Suckling, WineSpectator.com, May 2006
Respectable crimson. Light nose. Rather comforting rich fruit flavours on the front palate and some tannins on the finish – more of a conventionally structured claret than any of the St-Estèphes. Pretty chewy on the finish still. I think this may outlive the Montrose, or at least the bottle of Montrose described above.
Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, February 2008
Reminiscent of the 1990, this blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc possesses low acidity, good ripeness (but not over-ripe), and Grand-Puy-Lacoste’s classic creme de cassis character well-displayed. Medium to full-bodied with noticeable tannin in the finish, it is a heady, rich, beautifully made Pauillac that should be drinkable within 3-4 years. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018.
Score: 91/94 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (152), April 2004
