Score 86/100 · Drink 2000-2007, Robert Parker, Apr 2000
A dark ruby color is followed by sweet, spicy, black cherry, dried herbs, and wood aromas. Elegant and round, with lush fruit, low acidity, and a seamless texture, this medium-bodied wine should be consumed over the next 6-7 years.

Good red-ruby color. Black cherry, blackberry, violet and mint on the nose. Fresh and juicy, with decent intensity but only moderate depth of flavor. A bit slight on the back end, but tannins are in balance with the wine fruit.
About the producer
Rouget
Close to the Pomerol church, the Labruyère family purchased this property in 1994. They immediately set to work, restructuring the vineyard, renovating the winery and allowing the property to emerge from the shadows.
