"This wine is very well-crafted, with soft, round tannins and lots of milk chocolate, berry and vanilla character. Long finish. A new Right Bank estate to watch." -Rated 92, Wine Spectator

"Undoubtedly the most impressive Saint-Domingue I have tasted, this wine tastes like proprietor Clement Fayat's La Dominique on steroids, opaque purple-colored with a glorious nose of creme de cassis, vanilla, chocolate, and espresso. Once past the ostentatious aromatics, this chewy, low-acid, plump, full-bodied wine is dense, rich, with great intensity, purity, and plenty of power. This is obviously a modern-styled St.-Emilion, but a huge crowd-pleaser and a wine capable of lasting 12-15 more years, possibly longer. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2017." -Rated 92, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
