- This is a classic from Saint Julien showing a very sweet nose of anise, cassis, smoke and mixed herbs. Fruit forward with great concentration and silken tannins. Accessible today but can be held for years to come - especially in a vintage such as this one.

- Aromas of blackberry, currant and mineral follow through to a full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a chocolate and light vanilla aftertaste. Subtle and long. Caressing texture. Hard not to drink now. Best after 2010. -Wine Spectator From bottle the 2003 is showing as well as can be expected. A soft, sexy, near-term style of claret with a deep plum/ruby/purple-tinged color, a big, sweet nose of anise, creme de cassis, smoke, Provencal herbs, and some spice box, it is opulent, fleshy, not profoundly concentrated, but rich enough. Everything is nicely balanced with silky tannin and low acidity. read more...Drink it over the next 12-14 years as this is a seductive wine. -Wine Advocate (hide)
