Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2002-2005, Jancis Robinson MW, Mar 2002
Full, rich and sweet with a slightly dry end. Absolutely what's expected but no great stand-out. (JR)

Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Red-ruby. Claret-like aromas of plum, redcurrant, graphite, cocoa powder, tobacco and loam. Silky but firm in the mouth; juicy redcurrant, plum and tobacco flavors offer enticing sweetness. Not fat but smooth and stylish. Finishes with fine, dusty tannins and subtle length.
