Score 93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2005

Good deep red. Sexy aromas of raspberry, smoked meat, truffle and licorice, along with a pungent earthy perfume. Wild, dense, structured and gripping; at once vibrant and very smooth. Sweet flavors of strawberry, raspberry and earth carry nicely through the ripely tannic finish. This offers lovely early balance but should age well over the next decade.

Score 89-91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2004

Bright medium ruby. Very ripe aromas of cassis, violet and smoky oak. Then leaner and cooler than the Charmes, with less mid-palate material and pliancy. Today, the tannins come across as a bit tough, and the wine shows a minty quality.
