Robert Parker 93 points: Classic aromas of blueberries, cedar, vanilla, black currants, and spring flowers jump from the glass of this dense purple colored Saint-Emilion. Broad, rich, jammy fruit flavors compete with the full bodied, highly extracted style that exhibits moderate tannin as well as excellent overall harmony and purity. This cuvee tends to be made in a dense, chewy style, and the 2005 may ultimately rival Grand-Mayne’s brilliant 1998. Anticipated maturity: now-2022. A sleeper of the vintage. |
