Tasting notes
An attractive, sexy effort from Carbonnieux, this medium-bodied, deep ruby-colored wine reveals subtle aromas of smoky oak intertwined with tobacco, kirsch, and black currant fruit. In the mouth, elegance, balance, suppleness, finesse, and an overall allure characterize this round, lightly tannic, lush, and captivating claret. Anticipated maturity: Now-2011.

Terrific aromas of blackberry and dark chocolate. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a long, succulent aftertaste. Delicious fruit and fine texture. Drinkable now, better after 1999.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1998
