RATINGS

*****Michael Broadbent

...sweet, brambly fruit, singed, fragrant; amazingly sweet, showing a little age but beautiful...

92Robert M. Parker Jr.

...prototype for the appellation, feminine with delicate yet fragrant perfume, luscious flavors, but nothing out of balance.

92Wine Spectator

Mature. smooth and finely textured, showing a beautiful bottle bouquet, ample fruity, meaty flavors and firm but integrated tannins. Elegant compared to some of the vintage's blockbusters, and a joy to drink.
