The Wine Spectator wrote of this vintage:
A solid and well-made wine. Lovely blackberry, milk chocolate and cherry aromas. Medium-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long, fruity finish.
Robert Parker was similarly impressed:
This wine is sexy, opulently-textured, full-flavored, with low acidity as well as delicious, up-front appeal. Lavish cherry fruit intermixed with mocha, dried herbs, spice box, and toasty oak are present in this medium to full-bodied, fruit-driven wine.
This vintage is nearing the end of its drinking window but will no doubt appeal to the connoisseur of mature claret.
