Score 78/100 · Drink 1997-2003, Robert Parker, Feb 1997

Thankfully, beginning with the 1996 vintage, the highly-talented Michel Rolland has been brought in to work his magic with this well-placed Pomerol property. As the following tasting notes attest, this wine has not been living up to its potential. Dark ruby-colored, with a vegetal, herbal nose, this thin, emaciated wine is undistinguished. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.

Sleek and well-crafted Pomerol offering red berry, toasted oak and a hint of smokiness. Medium in body, fine tannins and fresh finish. Drinkable now. 4,500 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1996
