Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Score 87-89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2006
(a selection from 30-year-old south-facing vines on rocky soil) Aromas of blackberry, blueberry and tar. Offers good purity and energy in the mouth, with the black fruit flavors lingering past the late-arriving tannins.

Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2013-2020, Jancis Robinson MW, Apr 2006
Dark, glowing purple. Surely picked at the limit of ripeness with more sweetness and a little more furriness and density than the regular Richelieu bottling. (JR)
