Inky purple/garnet-colored, with an outrageously intense nose of black truffles, licorice, cedar, and black fruits, this phenomenally extracted wine borders on being too concentrated for its own good. This massive, huge wine possesses 20-25 years of potential longevity. The fruit’s remarkable intensity and purity, as well as the liqueur-like richness and unctuosity are something to experience. This is an exceptionally dense, massively-endowed, controversial style of Pomerol that will reward those with patience. The tannins are strong, but so is the extract level. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2025. Last tasted, 12/01.- Robert Parker Jr. (01/2003)
Exotic aromas of violets, berry and toasted oak waft from this full-bodied wine. Packed to the brim with fruit and tannins and impressively long on the finish. Superb red from a producer known for opulence. Better in 2000. 3,900 cases made. –JS WS
Very good deep color. Superripe aromas of black raspberry and caramel. Lush and sweet in the mouth, with intriguing suggestions of iron and curry powder. A wine of huge extraction, but one that began with very strong raw material. Finishes with substantial chewy tannins and persistent flavor.- Stephen Tanzer (5/1996)
