Score 17/20 · Drink 2008-2016, Jancis Robinson MW, Jan 2005

Deep, glossy crimson. Toasty nose. Solid, cheerful, plump, very representative Pomerol. Hides nothing. Perhaps no great hidden depth. What you see is what you get. (JR)

Score 89/100 · Drink 2005-2016, Robert Parker, Apr 2003

A seductive, classic Pomerol in its open-knit, forward display of roasted coffee scents intermixed with caramel, black cherry jam, and some sweet, toasty oak, this is a lush, medium to full-bodied, dark ruby-colored wine with good flesh, low acidity, and excellent purity. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2016.

Score 86-89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Dark ruby. Superripe, oaky aromas of raw blackberry, licorice and bitter chocolate. More concentrated than most recent vintages of this wine; not yet complex, but ripe, solid and well-made. The chocolatey quality carries through on the palate and aftertaste.
