* Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Good aromas of mulberries and blackberries, tar, smoke, quite rich and sweet on the nose; disappointingly thin and acidic in the mouth; there is a good deal of fresh tannin in the wine, and lots of acidity, but there seems to be a lack of real fruit and body; the wine tastes dilute and flat, simple and short; I don’t think that more bottle time is going to help this wine much as it will remain simple and short. (14.5/20)

One of the better properties outside of the grand cru area, this château is making better wine all of the time; a very deep and rich nose, loaded with sweet spices, rich cassis aromas, wet earth, smooth and thick aromas mixed with pepper and tar; quite sweet and smooth on the way in, but fails to develop fully; there is a lot of flavor here with sweet black fruit flavors, good acidity but not too much and dry but smooth tannins; nice fresh citrus flavors, but not enough of them; the finish at this time is a little bitter from the tannins that have not fully integrated; this wine is serious and needs more bottle time to develop more finesse; it’s not going to challenge the top tier, but it’s certainly holding its own. (17/20)
