The epitome of elegance and finesse, this delicate yet flavorful St.-Emilion offers a provocative display of sweet cherries, raspberries, and flowers in an aromatic as well as flavor profile that builds incrementally. The antithesis of a blockbuster, it is a subtle, pure 2001 to cellar for another 1-2 years, and enjoy over the following 12-13. Jun 2004, www.robertparker.com
Robert Parker Score: 90/100
A solid wine with blackberry and mineral character and hints of new wood. Medium-bodied, with firm tannins and a medium finish. Slightly dry wood tannins now, but should come around with bottle age. Best after 2007. 6,665 cases made.James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2004
Wine Spectator Score: 88/100
