Another sleeper of the vintage for this property that has been doing impressive work over recent vintages, the 2004 (a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot) displays a dark ruby/purple color along with classic aromas of cedar, creme de cassis, earth, spice, and wood. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, long, and impressively endowed, it should be at its peak between 2010-2022.- Robert M. Parker, Jr. (06/2007)

Good ruby-red. Cassis, blackberry, minerals and flowers on the nose. More backward than the Carruades, but with no more supporting density of material this comes across as austere, even severe, today, with distinctly medicinal cabernet-dominated flavors. Offers sound acidity and notes of licorice and fresh herbs. This will require some patience. ST
