Reviews & Scores
"The big, rich, well-muscled and extraordinarily precise full-bodied flavors possess the same sense of underlying reserve and coolness as the Cros and this finishes with a linear and reserved but impeccably well-balanced finale that is trimmed in a deft touch of wood. Extremely promising and one of the wines of the vintage."

There is a hint of the herbal character that typifies many '04s but I stress that it is a nuance and by no means dominant and allows the otherwise pretty and spicy red berry fruit and wet stone aromas to shine. The refined, cool and still notably reserved medium-bodied flavors are delicious though there is a hint of that same herbal character that was found on the nose present on the lightly acid-tinged finish that is tangy but not sharp. As the description suggests this is on the awkward side at present and clearly still needs a few years of cellar time to round out the structure.

Good full red. Slightly reduced but complex aromas of black fruits, pepper, violet and minerals. Supple and deep, with a fine-grained texture and solid underlying structure. As creamy as this is, it remains light on its feet. Finishes very long and subtle, with a whiplash of pepper and mineral flavors conveying an impression of strong extract.
