Wine Advocate ReviewRated 90Thank goodness this estate's new consultant, Stephane Derenoncourt, has toned down what was often too much new oak. He also appears to have built in more density. The 2005 is a beautifully exuberant, sexy wine displaying copious black cherry, toasty oak, raspberry, and vanillin notes. Pure, rich, medium to full-bodied, and luscious, patience will not be required for this beauty as it can be consumed now and over the next 12-15 years.

...the 2000 Ferrand Lartigue has weight, expansiveness, structure as well as tannin, suggesting 1-2 years of cellaring is warranted. Cassis, licorice, tobacco smoke, and sweet fruit provide an expressive, medium to full-bodied personality. Long, pure... Robert Parkers Wine Advocate. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 2000 Ferrand-Lartigue 750ml
This is a modern-styled St.-Emilion with copious quantities of smoky, toasty oak, ripe, fleshy, earthy, black cherry and cassis characteristics, and plenty of pain grille (toast) notes. The wine exhibits excellent ripeness, purity... Robert Parker. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 1999 Ferrand-Lartigue 750ml
This is a big rich wine with a dark ruby core. Beautiful notes of black fruits, cinnamon, cedar and truffles. The palate is filled with layers of blackberry, raspberry, cloves and a touch subtle toasty oak. This wine has terrific structure and has ... Alex Lallos. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 1999 Ferrand-Lartigue 750ml
A highly regarded garage operation, Ferrand-Lartigue's 1998 exhibits a dark ruby/purple color as well as a tight but promising, internationally-styled bouquet of new oak, black fruits, and saddle leather. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with excellent purity, and clean, rich, concentrated flavors. Critics might argue that it is too international," but it is an outstanding effort. Anticipated maturity: now-2015." RP #134 Apr 2001
