Tasting Notes
Pretty, silky wine with plum and berry character and hints of toasted oak. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a long finish. Chewy. Moueix is doing a lot to make this a showpiece estate in Pomerol. Best after 2008. 3,330 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2005

Deep ruby with an attractive, moderately intense bouquet of sweet cherries, flowers, plums, some earth, and new oak, this wine is medium-bodied, nicely balanced, with ripe tannin, not a great deal of depth, but a good solid mid-palate and attractive finish. It should drink well for 10-12 years. Apr 2005, www.robertparker.com
