This structured, formidably-endowed, deep ruby/purple-colored, full-bodied, super-rich wine exhibits notes of toffee, truffles, and abundant blackberry, cherry, and currant fruit. It cuts a large swath across the palate, and possesses copious but sweet tannin as well as a chewy, muscular mid-palate and finish. This is a compelling effort from one of the great vineyards of Pomerol. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2030.

Good ruby-red color. Perfumed, highly nuanced nose of tangy red fruits, minerals, iron, tar, toffee, cedar and charry oak. Very concentrated, dense and seamless, with a texture of liquid velvet. Compelling inner-mouth perfume. Quite firm at the core, but packed with fleshy fruit and spice. Very long and fine on the back end, finishing with lush, ripe tannins and a whiplash of flavor. An uncanny combination of suavity and sheer material.

Subtle and harmonious young red with berry, tobacco and vanilla character. Full-bodied, with masses of extremely polished, fine tannins that build on the palate. Finishes long, with milk chocolate and berry. Best after 2008. –JS
