Burghound: Wonderfully spicy black fruits with a strong hint of fennel to the medium weight, impressively well focused and rich flavors. While not a blockbuster, this too is chiseled and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The Magna Praemia 2007 has a very refined, very Right Bank bouquet with blackberry, tobacco leaf, scorched earth and wild-hedgerow. Understated but growing in intensity in the...

Wine Spectator: A pretty version for the appellation, with raspberry, cassis and floral aromas and flavors. Picks up licorice and spice note on the finish, adding depth and interest as the ta...

Wine Spectator: This is juicy, with blackberry, boysenberry and pomegranate flavors converging on the firm tannins. There's acidity too, giving this a lean, austere profile by the finish. The...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Pale, greenish-yellow. Brisk aromas of lemon, lime and crushed stone. Rich, dense and very ripe but more minerally than the Rougeots; a note of marzipan shades to hazelnutty...

Jancis Robinson: Easy and round and seductive whiff. Roses and liquorice and pure pleasure even if not the freshest. Drink 2006 to 2018. 18 / 20

Jancis Robinson: Dark ruby. Nervy, violets, fully developed and gorgeous. Sweet and maybe a bit too much for purists but it certainly delivers pleasure! Drink 2007 to 2017. 18 / 20

Jancis Robinson: Leaf-mould nose that is most attractive. Racy and lively. Bone-dry finish. Needs to take on a bit more fat before it's seductive. But it is much fleshier than the 1993. Drink ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright medium red. Sexy spices and a hint of peach give a somewhat exotic quality to the raspberry aroma. Rich and broad but with a restrained sweetness; this is a bit reduc...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Subtly leesy aromas of pineapple, honeysuckle and spice; comes across as more floral than mineral today. Very dense but almost magically vibrant and delineated, with the fresh...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: ood deep red. Rather decadent aromas of blackberry, mocha, licorice and earth. Superripe and fine-grained, with less pronounced sweetness than some of these 2003s. Notes of bl...

Wine Spectator: Very ripe and flattering, with loads of linzer torte, cassis and crushed cherry fruit, but well-supported by notes of cocoa, graphite and toasty spice. The finish is long and ...

Burghound: Strong reduction again precludes a satisfactory examination of the aromas. By contrast to the funky nose there is excellent verve and freshness to the concentrated, detailed a...

Wine Spectator: The nose is marked by caramel, plum and macerated fruits, with more bass than the 1996. On the palate the fruit has a slightly candied quality, but its very concentrated. A bi...

Wine Spectator: Still a bit compact, with blueberry coulis, fig and blackberry paste notes tightly wound, backed by tangy black licorice, singed apple wood and tar on the finish, which featur...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: ...Superripe, slightly medicinal kirsch aroma, complicated by licorice, earth and exotic oak tones. Plump and smooth, with impressively concentrated flavors of liqueur-like bl...
