Score 93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2008
Good deep red-ruby. Sappy black cherry, black raspberry, minerals, bitter chocolate, cinnamon, leather and smoke. Sappy, pure and sweet, with compelling energy and freshness to the strawberry and spicy flavors. At once dense and weightless, and perfumed on the lingering finish. This sexy and captivating wine showed a stronger chocolatey oak character as it opened in the glass but maintained its energy and shape.

Bright ruby-red. Wild aromas of black fruits and meat. Sweet, lush and fine-grained, with slightly clenched flavors of black fruits, dark chocolate and menthol. Finishes with fine-grained tannins and good chocolatey persistence. Today this shows more verve than the Santenots.
