Critics Ratings

'As one might reasonably expect, this is bigger and richer than the Fuées but it's not finer or deeper though to be sure, the spicy black fruit nose is expressive and generous as are the huge, intense and muscular full-bodied flavors that are sweet and powerfully structured though again, there is more than enough balancing extract to buffer them. Still, this is a wine for the patient.' - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 90-93/100 (Jan 2005)

'Medium red. Aromas of strawberry jam, redcurrant, iron, mocha and coffee. Rich, fat and supple, with flavors of redcurrant and spices and considerable stuffing. Finishes suave and ripe, with substantial but fine tannins and very good length.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (Mar 2006)
