Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
90
A big time sleeper of the vintage from Fronsac, this beauty from proprietor Jean-Noel Herve has hit the bull’s eye. A dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by notes of black currants, sweet cherries, crushed rocks, and a distinctive minerality. It is a medium to full-bodied, structured effort with sweet tannin, decent acidity, and oodles of fruit as well as richness. (RP)

Wine Spectator
Aromas of black cherries, flowers and fresh herbs follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with firm tannins and a solid fruit and mineral finish. Needs a little time. (JS, Web Only-2007)

By: Steve Bearden10/3/2019K&L Staff MemberThis is dark and fresh with raspberry, currant and earthy aromas and good middle weight. There is a smooth, plush texture with no edges or noticeable tannin and good ripeness on this easy to drink bargain. A ready to drink wine with a lot of life ahead. Robert Parker calls this a sleeper of the vintage.

By: Clyde Beffa Jr.11/23/2018K&L Staff MemberWe sold a bunch of this wine last year—now it is back. These lesse-known 2004s are fantastic about now and they will age well for several years. This Merlot-based wine is a bit old school and has blackberry aromas with a touch of oak. Full-flavored and classic Bordeaux on the palate. Some earthiness on the finish. Very good property making excellent value reds these days.

By: Jacques Moreira7/16/2016K&L Staff MemberVery attractive notes of dark cherries along with cherry noyaux, milk chocolate and plums. Although soft and easy on the palate it has its tannins still very much present holding the soft fruit. Very pleasant and very food friendly.
