This fifth growth continues to outpunch its classification and deliver real quality, longevity and value. A superb terroir and with a classic Pauillac blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc it has real intensity and depth. With a nose of black fruit and Bovril, the palate contains silky tannins and fresh acids, there is a completeness and harmony here that we did not find in many. Should be a 'must buy' for lovers of the left bank. 16.3 points (out of 20)

"While not at the level of this estate’s blockbuster 2005, the 2006 exhibits a deep purple color as well as classic aromas of cassis and blueberries, ripe tannin, medium body, a distinctive minerality, and a long finish. It recalls the brilliant 1995 and 1996 made here. Fashioned from yields of 47 hectoliters per hectare, the final blend is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc."

"No darker than Haut-Batailley. Thick and opulent on the nose. Very sweet and engaging, with lots of fine tannins - something reminiscent of port about this! The tannins are not at all green - very mouth-cleaning, This wine rinses the mouth. Really complete. Very gentle extraction. Much rounder tannins than most other similar wines. Totally charming. Not big but great balance and vivacity, Bravo!"

"A clean young wine, with fine, silky tannins, good focused fruit and a medium-to-long finish. Caressing and refined."
