"Wonderful aromas of ripe strawberry and raspberry follow through to a full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a very fruity finish. Yummy. Hard not to drink now. Best after 2008. 3,955 cases made."

"This attractive, fully mature St. Emilion exhibits notes of Christmas fruitcake, licorice, red and black currants, and spice box. Drink it over the next 3-4 years." - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

"(85% merlot and 15% cabernet franc) Medium red. Superripe aromas of cherry syrup, chocolate and minerals. Sweet, fat and flavorful; chewy and mouthfilling, with slightly roasted red and darker berry notes complicated by burnished oak and sandalwood. A big, ripe, chewy wine that finishes with sweet tannins. These later-harvested vines are on cold soil near Troplong-Mondot and clearly benefited from this terroir in 2003." - Stephen Tanzer
