"A so-called garage wine from St.-Emilion, this debut vintage (700 cases from a 4-acre vineyard planted with 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc) offers elegance and finesse in addition to loads of fruit, glycerin, and toasty wood. This big fruit bomb should become more defined with aging. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2016." -Rated 88-90, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
