Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2009
As I wrote last year, this sensational sleeper of the vintage is not far off the pace of Gloria's brilliant 2005. Sweet cedary, cigar box, roasted herb, and black currant fruit aromas are followed by a lush, full-bodied, textured, concentrated wine. A steal in today's marketplace, this is a gorgeous St.-Julien to enjoy now and over the next 15+ years. Good value.
Stephen Tanzer's IWC, June 2008
Good full ruby. Riper aromas of currant and lead pencil. Sappy, vinous and penetrating, with good cut to the juicy currant and licorice flavors. There's actually as much tannin in the 2007, says technical director di Costanzo, but this wine comes across as more powerful, if not a bit more rustic.

Offers blackberry and black licorice on the nose, turning to light jam. Full-bodied, with lovely, silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. Beautiful and refined. Best after 2012. -JS
