Ratings By Robert Parker (87-89) Tasting Notes Displaying a saturated plum/purple color as well as fine ripeness, medium body, solidly constructed flavors, admirable concentration, moderate tannin, and hints of underbrush, licorice, and new oak, this 2004 requires 2-3 years of bottle age. It should keep for 12-15 years.(Wine Advocate #165 Jun 2006) By Robert Parker
Ratings By Robert Parker 89 Tasting Notes Soft, round, and evolved, the plum/garnet-hued 2003 offers sweet scents of black cherries, plums, and figs, medium to full body, a charming fleshiness, and low acidity. Enjoy this seductive wine over the next 7-10 years. (Wine Advocate #164 Apr 2006) By Robert Parker
Ratings By Robert Parker 86 Tasting Notes Although somewhat lean and austere, the 2002 offers attractive ripe cherry and black currant fruit intermixed with notions of damp earth, spice box, and new wood. It is a pleasing, but restrained, angular Haut-Medoc to consume over the next 7-8 years.(Wine Advocate #158 Apr 2005) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes This wine is dark purple-colored, with an excellent nose of smoke and creme de cassis intermixed with licorice and underbrush. This straightforward offering is full-bodied, dense, deep, chewy, mouthfilling, and substantial. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2015.(Wine Advocate #140 Apr 2002) By Robert Parker
Ratings By Robert Parker 86 Tasting Notes A very good effort from Camensac, the 1997 reveals good cleanliness, elegance, and a spicy, berry, herb, and mineral-scented nose with mocha in the background. The wine is medium-bodied, with low acidity, and attractive density. It should drink well for 5-7 years.(Wine Advocate #128 Apr 2000) By Robert… Read More »
Ratings By Robert Parker (85-86) Tasting Notes The problem of musty aromas exhibited in many older Camensac wines appears to have been eliminated in the 1995 and 1996 vintages. The 1996 offers a dark ruby/purple color, plenty of sweet berry fruit, medium body, and a straightforward, muscular, ripe style with moderate tannin in the finish.… Read More »
