Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #214 (August 2014): 95/100

“Made from a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot, this spectacular 2003 hits all the sweet spots on the palate. A glorious bouquet of cedarwood, jammy black currants, cherries, licorice and truffle is followed by a dense, opulently textured, full-bodied wine with terrific purity and freshness as well as deep, velvety textured tannins. Enjoy this beauty over the next 10-12 years.“

James Suckling, Wine Spectator (March 2006): 93/100

“Very pretty aromas of plum, blackberry, chocolate, espresso and cherry follow through to a full-bodied palate, with ultrasilky tannins, refined fruit and a long, caressing finish. This is fine and refined with a wonderful texture. Not quite the 2000, but excellent. Best after 2011.“

René Gabriel, Bordeaux Total (2013): 19/20

„Sehr dunkle Farbe, in der Mitte immer noch violetter Schimmer. Volles, bombiges Bouquet, Brombeeren, Brombeerengelée, Cassis und Butter, reich und fast überschwappend. Im Gaumen geht das Füllige in Extremis weiter, den Mund fast sprengend, eine berauschende Cabernetsüsse geht von dem Ding aus, im Finale ein Hauch Port, also den heissen Jahrgang doch deutlich zeigend.“

Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (May 2006): 93/100

“Good deep red. Flamboyantly expressive aromas of raspberry, currant, earth, smoked meat, chocolate and pepper. Fat, full and voluptuous yet somehow light on its feet. This has a texture of liquid velvet. Wonderfully opulent wine with considerable inner-palate flavor complexity: raspberry, game, leather, mocha and chocolate. Finishes with very fine-grained tannins that coat the entire palate. A wonderful success for the year, and a wine that can be enjoyed already, even if its sheer material promises 15 to 20 years of life in bottle.”
