Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2004
Deep medium ruby. Sexy aromas of cassis, blackberry, raspberry jam, barbecue sauce and liquid smoke; carrying a heavy load of oak. Then fat, sweet and carnal, with smoky flavors of meat, earth, coconut and vanilla. Dense, saline and very oaky. Undeniably impressive, but could use a bit more verve and shape.

Full ruby-red. Expressive nose melds black raspberry, stewed tomato, sandalwood and cedar. Supple, lush and sweet, with slightly roasted, opulent red fruit flavors. The Clos des Truffiers is tighter and higher-pitched in comparison, but this is showing more fruit and texture and sweeter tannins today.
