Score 87/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2005

Red-ruby. Currant, tobacco, menthol and fresh herbs on the nose. Supple but classically dry, with flavors similar to the aromas. Offers a restrained sweetness in the middle palate, but finishes a tad dry, with a hint of dill.

Score 87/100 · Drink 2005-2015, Robert Parker, Apr 2005

A reasonably successful wine for this vintage that is showing more of a St.-Julien elegance without the typical power of Pauillac, the wine has a dark plum/ruby color, a slightly earthy, herb-tinged, raspberry and black currant-scented nose, silky tannins, medium body, and a pleasant finish. Drink it over the next decade.
