Score 91/100 · Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider, Nov 2016

Medium bodied, soft, open and delivering licorice, truffle, cocoa, black cherry, smoke, coffee bean and wet earth aromas, the wine is soft, lush and offers length and character. It's hard to believe this is already just days away from its 19th birthday.

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
Score 90/100 · Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Apr 2001

A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by pure, sweet aromas of blackberry and blueberry jam revealing nicely integrated oak. This wine exhibits medium to full body, a fat, concentrated mid-palate with structure as well as definition, admirable length and richness, low acidity, and abundant fruit and extract.

Wine Spectator
Score 92/100 · Wine Spectator, Jan 2001

A lovely St.-Emilion, with cherry, mineral, berry and spice aromas. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, long finish. So fine. From the owners of Clos Eglise. A winery to watch. Best after 2005. 3,330 cases made.
