Scores + Notes
Dark in color, with intense aromas of crème de cassis, mineral and light vanilla. Full-bodied, with very well-integrated tannins and a long finish. Best after 2010. 10,665 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2006.
Wine Spectator Score: 91/100
A dark ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of cassis, herbs, and underbrush in this spicy, moderately oaky Pauillac. Bitter tannins in the finish make a final judgment somewhat cautionary. Two to three years of cellaring may be beneficial, but whether the fruit or the tannin will last the longest remains questionable. Proceed with caution. Apr 2006, www.robertparker.com
