"This has been a property to watch since the late nineties. All of the recent vintages have represented a relatively virile, muscular, tannic style of St.-Emilion. The black/purple-colored 2000 is a sleeper of the vintage. Revealing aromas of plum, wood smoke, iron, blackberries, licorice, underbrush, and cassis, this full-bodied, layered, powerful, muscular St.-Emilion has some tannin to shed, but its finish reveals considerable persistence. It is a strong, virile, broodingly impressive effort. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018."

"This up and coming estate is fashioning dense, powerful wines. The black/purple-colored 2000 is a sleeper of the vintage.

"A serious, muscular 2000 built to keep, this St.-Emilion, which has been producing far better wines over the last few years, has turned out a deep plum/purple-colored wine revealing aromas and flavors of damp earth, black currants, plums, licorice, and minerals. Chewy, pure, full-bodied, and tannic, with decent acidity, patience will be required. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2020. It is a sleeper of the vintage."
