Ratings By Robert Parker 83 Tasting Notes This is a rather insubstantial, superficial effort with light body, moderately endowed red currant and cherry fruit, and some oak, damp earth, and herbs in the background. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.(Wine Advocate #158 Apr 2005) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 86 Tasting Notes This dark ruby/plum-colored, easy-going Margaux reveals a touch of herbaceousness along with too much new oak on the nose.
