This estate was subsequently incorporated into the Mission Haut-Brion vineyards, but in 2003 it exhibited a complex and perfumed nose of smoke, earth and red fruits. However, its lean, austere mid-palate and tough-textured tannins suggest it was more affected by the heat and drought than other wines.

Good deep red. Expressive aromas of raspberry, burning tobacco, minerals and truffle. Comparatively primary for the vintage, with good sweetness, richness and depth. Finishes dry but rich, with notes of smoke, game and tobacco. I find more fat and depth of flavor here than I did a year ago. Pomerol Rating: 90 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (May 2006)

A medium-bodied, elegant effort revealing aromas of plums and cassis in a soft, delicately nuanced style, this blend of 68% Merlot and 32% Cabernet Sauvignon will drink well young. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2016. Rating: 88 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com (Mar 2005)
