"Dense ruby/purple, with a glorious nose of blackberries, cassis, white flowers, licorice, and a hint of sweet oak, this seamless wine is a classic example of purity and symmetry. Combining power with charm and finesse in a deeply textured, rich, elegant, yet authoritatively flavorful style, this is a brilliant effort as well as a compliment to proprietor Christian Moueix.
Sadly, there are only 1,500 cases of this fabulous offering. It displays a singular style reminiscent of a hypothetical blend of Cheval Blanc and L'Evangile, the famous St.-Emilion and equally renowned Pomerol situated across from each other. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020.” – Rated 96, Robert Parker
“Fabulous aromas of pure cassis and crushed raspberry. Full-bodied, with soft, velvety tannins and a long, caressing finish. A sensual, fantastic wine. Sorry I haven't tasted it until now. Best after 2010. 1,500 cases made. –JS” – Rated 95, Wine Spectator
