Mike Supple, JJ Buckley, April 2006

Opaque purple. Spicy nose with hints of sour cherry, eucalyptus, and green olive. Lush and rich on the front of the palate, followed by a huge tannic finish with lingering plum and coffee flavors. Will require some cellating but this is an excellent wine and a great value.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2008

This forward-styled 2005 possesses a dense ruby/purple color in addition to a big, sweet bouquet of roasted herbs, fudge, espresso, figs, and cherry jam. Opulent, even decadent, with low acidity, but high glycerin and fruit extract as well as a flamboyant fleshiness, this is a stunningly impressive, hedonistic, savory Margaux to enjoy between 2010-2025.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, May 2008

Good ruby-red. Lovely lift to the aromas of black fruits, licorice and minerals. Pure, intense and sweet, offering an enticing combination of black fruit, mineral and dark chocolate flavors. Finishes long and sweet, with plenty of tannic structure and a lingering note of bitter chocolate. A juicy, serious wine with some power. This has turned out very well.

Wine Spectator, March 2008

Displays blackberry, cherry and hints of sweet tobacco. Full-bodied, with soft, velvety tannins and a long, caressing finish. Very pretty and solid. This is structured and chewy. Needs time. Best after 2013. 20,830 cases made. –JS
