Critics Ratings

‘Lots of evolution at the rim – sweet and biscuity. Reminds me of Tertre. Simply seductive. With a dry finish.’ – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20 (Feb 2014)

‘Coffee and liquorice dominate the nose at the moment and there’s a similar dark concentration in the mouth but the tannins are fine and fluid giving elegance and real finesse on the long sweet-fruited finish. Oak still quite toasty at the very end.’ – Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Feb 2009)

‘A soft, lively wine, with fresh acidity and easy tannins. It's made especially attractive by the spicy wood flavors, but it's not a wine for long-term aging’ – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast (Jun 2007)

‘Dark red. Complex, slightly funky aromas of plum, smoked meat, espresso bean, exotic chocolate and leather. Fat and soft, with a plum flavor joined by slightly rustic leather and game on the back. This has a liqueur-like ripeness for the year but could use a bit more definition. The tannins turned a bit dusty with air.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (May 2007)

‘Shows the typical raspberry and perfumed aromas of the appellation. Medium-bodied, with fine, silky tannins and a medium finish. Much better than from barrel. Best after 2009.’ – Wine Spectator (Mar 2007)

‘The seductive 2004 reveals plenty of black fruits along with more structure and definition than the 2003. Its sweet perfume of flowers, licorice, smoke, and black fruits is followed by a dense, medium-bodied, beautifully pure Margaux to consume between 2008-2018.’ – Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 90-92/100 (Jun 2006)
