Wine Spectator Review:
Blackberry and mineral on the nose, with dried flowers. Full-bodied, with very silky tannins and a long finish. This is racy and cool. Score range 90-93.

Parker Review:
Juicy red currant with subtle smoked herbs, truffle, and spice box jump from the glass of this dense ruby/purple-colored wine. Possessing silky tannins, seductive, ripe fruit with an opulent texture and no hard edges, but serious tannin lurking behind the wealth of fruit and glycerin, this is another classic Pessac-Leognan that can be drunk young or cellared for 20-25 years.

Other Notes:
The nose displays good intensity after starting off a little bashful, but opening nicely with pure blackberry, cassis and a touch of dark plum. The palate is medium-bodied with a rounded, plump mouthfeel, touches of dried herbs and cedar with a slightly dry finish that is not quite in synch with the rest of the wine. I would give this 2-3 years. Neal Martin, 90 points.
