A deeper, thicker look and colour than its stablemate Gloria. They used concentration by saignée and evaporation (in a vacuum), and here these techniques have proved beneficial, a testament to the ripeness of the fruit, since this is rich in body and fat fruit with a really lovely succulence on the finish. It is so straight and fat and roundly easy that it would be easy to underestimate. Rating: 91 L&S (Apr 2005)

Knitted together, restrained, overlaid with cocoa bean, cigar box, smoked earth. Similar in feel to the 2002 as is often the case with these two vintages, but here more packed with blackberry and bilberry fruits with marked eucalyptus notes and a hum of fresh acidities. Plenty of life ahead, with St Julien balance. 60% new oak. Drinking range: 2022 - 2040 Rating: 92 Jane Anson, Decanter (Feb 2022)

This somewhat under-the-radar classified growth has produced a dense ruby/purple-colored 2004 with superb density of black currant and cherry fruit intermixed with subtle herbs, licorice, and forest floor characteristics. Medium to full-bodied, rich, and muscular, it is an atypically powerful 2004 that should be at its finest between 2012-2025. It is a sleeper of the vintage.

Blackish crimson. Meaty, glossy lively nose - bit leaner than Gloria. Quite simple. Drink 2012-18 Rating: 14.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Apr 2005)
