* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A much less dense wine than either ’95 or ’96, reflecting the vintage. Red berry fruit aromas with dusty tobacco notes. Lighter, juicy mouthfeel with chocolate and leather notes. Mildly drying finish. Well-made but light, with a definite herbaceous quality.

Boasts layers of wood, with black currant and rich white fig flavors, along with dried fruits. This is a ripe, opulent wine reflecting the heat of 2003 in Bordeaux, but still retaining dry tannins that promise aging.

A lusciously rich wine whose opulence is tempered by some firm, dry tannins as well as crisp acidity. The superripe plum and blackberry fruits are open, generous and demanding to be drunk in the next 2–3 years.

Deeper and more powerful than the ’95, with robust black currant, coffee, and cedar aromas and flavors. Rich, nicely balanced mouthfeel and a long, full finish with plenty of tannins. Hold for three to five years, or drink with very hearty fare.

A plump and full wine with forest, cedar, cocoa and black fruit aromas. Handsome fruit with earth, plum and carob elements on the palate. Earthy finish of medium length, with some drying tannins. Already drinkable, it should shine even more in two years.

Three elements, already in balance, contribute to the success of this wine. First, the rich fruit, juicy blackberry and mulberry, lifted by acidity. Second, the new wood, which spices the fruit but is already smoothing out the third element, the dark firm tannic layer.
