Ratings By Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes A classic Bordeaux nose of licorice, cedar wood, black currants, and some tobacco leaf is followed by a medium-bodied, nicely concentrated wine with light tannin and a savory mouthfeel.

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 89 Tasting Notes A sleeper of the vintage, with a characteristic not dissimilar from a good St.-Julien, the medium-bodied 2000 offers up scents of vanilla intermixed with black currant and licorice.

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 »
