* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Boasts ripe blackberry fruit aromas, touched by wood. The flavors are of firm black fruit skins, and dark dry tannins. The heart of the wine is a solid blend of acidity and dry fruits, with a fresh aftertaste.

89-91 Big, bold, tannic wine, the dry core of tannins leavened by the black currant juice acidity. There is some extraction and a strong wood element, although the wine does profit from its freshness.

85-88 Part-owned by New York resident Peter M.F. Sichel, this is a classic Listrac, solid and firm, with the 2003 character of huge black fruits.

86-88 Barrel sample. Big, juicy fruit, but also a rather dilute tannic character. The wine misses structure.

New wood dominates this wine at this stage. But the solid, chunky fruit that is lingering underneath the wood promises well for the future. This is certainly one of the top growths in Listrac.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Still young, with its dry tannins, this is a wine that has developed depth and concentration over the last 3-4 years. It has power, the berry fruits driving through the structure to give a layered, attractive, serious finish.

The hot, overweight 2003 vintage has not been kind to this licorice- and dark chocolate-flavored wine. It is dry, firm, while still garishly rich. If you have it, drink it now.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Partly owned by New York resident Peter M. F. Sichel, this is a property that has considerably improved. This 2003 has richness, some good new wood flavors and and an open character. The fruit is packed with ripe, black flavors and there is softness to the aftertaste that is immediately appealing. Imported by Parliament Wine Co.
