A lightweight wine that is beginning to fade, this 2003 reveals notes of licorice, roasted herbs, loamy soil and washed-out red currants. St.-Estephe offerings tended to be impressive in 2003, but not this one. Drink now Rating: 82 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com (Aug 2014)
Moderately saturated ruby-red. Ripe blackberry and licorice aromas lifted by a violet note. Supple, sweet and dense, with pliant black cherry and floral flavors. Finishes reasonably lively and long. Fresh and impressive for this chateau. Rating: 87-89 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (May 2005)
More restrained than some of its Saint Estèphe peers, this offering exhibits a deep saturated ruby/plum/purple colour as well as a sweet nose of black fruits and earth, medium body, decent acidity, fine flesh, and good follow through on the palate. A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 15% Cabernet Franc, it will drink well for ten years. Rating: 86 - 88 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com (Mar 2005)
