Score 86-87/100 · Drink 2012, Robert Parker, Apr 1999

Already evolved and tasting relatively mature, this dark ruby/purple-colored wine offers an excellent berry-scented nose intermixed with dried herbs, earth, and sweet oak. It possesses medium body, low acidity, excellent concentration, and a nicely layered and nuanced finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2012.

This red has mineral, currant and mint aromas. Medium- to full-bodied, with polished tannins and a fruity, succulent finish. An early drinking Las Case, yet a very good red for the vintage. Can age but why wait. Drink now through 2006. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2001
