Score 86/100 · Drink 1999-2009, Robert Parker, Apr 1999

This is a stylish, medium-bodied, dark ruby-colored wine with attractive cherry and raspberry fruit intermixed with pain grille notes in both the aromatics and flavors. This elegant wine reveals a Volnay-like personality. It should drink well young, yet keep for a decade.

A typical '96, with cool fruit and mineral aromas and flavors, medium body and a sleek and racy tannin structure. Very good effort for a red from Carbonnieux. Best after 2000. 21,000 cases made.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1999
