Robert Parker (93)

An outstanding effort in this challenging vintage for Pomerol, this elegant blend (only 800 cases, or one-third the usual production) of 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot boasts a dense ruby/purple hue as well as a sumptuous perfume of burning embers, incense, cedar, roasted herbs, and sweet black cherries and currants. Neither big nor weighty, it is an elegant, medium-bodied, finesse-styled, velvety-textured 2003 to drink over the next 10-14 years.

Winespectator (90)

Lots of jammy fruit on the nose. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish. This is very thick. Slightly one-dimensional for the château, but outstanding.
