Score 89-91/100 · Robert Parker, Apr 2006
This lower pedigree wine represents undeniable quality/value rapport in 2005. This vintage is so deep in quality among the better run, less heralded estates, that these wines should appeal to readers looking for terrific values from Bordeaux. Most of these wines are Merlot-based and will be drinkable young. Sleeper of the vintage. Importer: Dourthe USA, Manhasset, NY; 888.317.1727, scanam@cvbg.com ; +33 556 355 300

Score 14.5/20 · Drink 2011-2015, Jancis Robinson MW, Apr 2006
Very intense concentrated New World style. Quite bitter. Very tough! Don’t quite see the point, I have to admit, though I’d love to see it next to Goulée (see St-Estèphe etc notes). (JR)
