Critics Ratings

'Chestnut nose. Sleek and lively and charming. Much more substantial than the Nuits-St-Georges Aux Murgers. Very good balance. Lots of fruit to compensate for the fine tannins. Delightful.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com 17+/20 (Jan 2003)

'A touch of wood frames a maturing nose of secondary fruit, spice, earth and hints of dried rose petal leads to dense and quite serious middle weight flavors that possess a taut muscularity and plenty of palate soaking dry extract that really coats the mouth on the gorgeously long and impeccably well-balanced finish. This is a stunner of a Malconsorts that has just arrived on the front edge of its peak drinkability and as such, it should continue to provide much pleasure and satisfaction for years to come. In a word, terrific. Tasted several times with consistent notes.' - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 94/100 (Apr 2004)

'Great depth on nose. Animal, leather/savoury. Good definition. Lush sensuous palate. Subtle new oak. Concentrated with sweet red fruit. Slight bitter finish but very impressive.' - Tom Cannavan, wine-pages.com, 92/100 (2003)
