"With massive, huge concentration, excruciating tannin, this earthy, meaty St.-Julien has everything, A racy, classy, silky wine. Inky-ruby colour. Black cherry, mineral and wet earth aromas. Medium-bodied, with very silky tannins and a long, superfine finish. Has always been excellent."

94 Points Robert Parker

"At its peak. Medium-dark ruby, with an amber edge. Cherry, coffee and cedar aromas. Medium-bodied, with sweet berry flavors and caressing, velvety tannins. Delicious, but slightly disappointing for this Château".
