Tasting Note: A rich, powerful Gevrey, packed with damson, huckleberry, leather and spice flavors. Concentrated and pure, with persistence and a mineral streak on the finish. (93pts. BS, Wine Spectator)

Tasted: May 31, 2008
Score: 93
Drink: 2012-25

Tasting Note: Bright, saturated ruby-red. Dark aromas of black raspberry, minerals and smoky oak. Dense and sappy, with darker flavors than the Petite Chapelle: black raspberry, mocha, minerals and hints of iodine and oyster shell. Finishes tight, saline and very long, communicating an impression of strong dry extract. (92+?pts. Stephen Tanzer)

Tasted: Mar. 2008
Score: 92+?
Drink: N/A

Tasting Note: An extremely fresh and bright red fruit and mineral-inflected nose complements to perfection the clean, detailed and superbly energetic medium full flavors that culminate in a sappy, serious, firm and equally explosive finish that is driving and linear in character. This is a sophisticated effort in both its understatement and purity. Highly recommended. (92pts. Burghound)
