Tasting notes
An evolved pink edge to the ruby color raises questions concerning the longevity of this medium-bodied, elegant, but essentially one-dimensional St. Emilion. It offers soft, herb-tinged cherry fruit, earth, old wood, and mushroom notes. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.

Lots of coffee and tobacco, with hints of berries on the nose. A bit lean on the palate, but some decent fruit. Drink now. 4,165 cases made. – James Suckling , Wine Spectator 2002
