"A super value, this deep ruby/purple-colored St.-Emilion offers aromas and flavors not too dissimilar from a top vintage of the famed L'Evangile. Sweet blackberry and wild mountain berry fruit is interwoven with hints of raisins, plums, and white flowers. Medium-bodied and fleshy, with excellent purity and sweet fruit, this is undoubtedly a sleeper of the vintage. As the wine sits in the glass, more black raspberries seem to emerge." -Robert M.

"Deep healthy crimson with some oak still evident on the nose. A bit of interesting spice and real savour on the palate. This wine is still very youthful but has great vitality and a whack of ripe fruit hiding fine-grained tannins well."

"Fascinating aromas of tobacco, berry, mineral and dried herbs. Full-bodied, with juicy, fine tannins and a long finish. Best wine ever from this estate."
