Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2005

Red-ruby. Low-toned aromas of plum and licorice. Rich, fat and broad but dry, with a truffley note. Finishes with ripe tannins and very good length. I like this.

The is a very good effort for a right bank 2002, revealing sweet tannin, earthy, plum, cherry, and currant fruit, medium body, and a silky finish. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.
