Tasting Notes
Vinous 88
Medium red. Roasted plum, leather and sexy oak scents on the nose. Sweet and harmonious, with fresh acids giving shape to the plum and mocha flavors. Finishes with nicely broad, ripe tannins.

The nose is lacking fruit concentration and vigour at first with dried black fruits, forest floor and cedar. Lacks a little vigour and vivacity. The palate is a little better, lacking a little harmony but with some nice blackberry and raspberry fruit, leading to a dry, leafy finish with good length. A good wine although in retrospect, nothing near the promise it showed just after bottling. Tasted October 2007.

Heady, chunky nose. Cantenac Brown-like – a little stodgy but substantial.
Anticipated maturity: 2010-2013
