  • Robert Parker, April 2008, Score: 91

    While no one will confuse the 2005 with this estate's prodigious 1990, it is an outstanding effortfrom one of St.-Emilion's finest terroirs. In terms of potential, the vineyard is exceeded only byAusone, Pavie and Belair for micro-climate and exposition. A beautiful dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by an ethereal nose of blueberry liqueur, spring flowers, melted licorice, raspberries, and crushed rocks. Medium-bodied with good acidity, sweet but high tannin, a broad mouthfeel, and admirable elegance as well as freshness, this beauty should age easily for 25+ years. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2035.

  • Robert Parker, April 2007, Score: 92-94

    Although I may have overrated this offering last year, I still believe it is the finest wine this estate has made since their utterly perfect 1990. This is a small (17.5 acres), but extraordinary terroir composed of pure clay and limestone. The powerful 2005 was monolithic and closed on the three occasions I tasted it, but it unquestionably possesses enormous potential. Beautiful blueberry, black raspberry, licorice, and floral notes are followed by a medium to full-bodied, super-rich St.-Emilion boasting gorgeous freshness as well as high levels of tannin. The latter component is more noticeable than it was last year, but my instincts suggest this a temporary stage and while this cuvee will need to be monitored, it appears to be a spectacular Bordeaux. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030+. Drink 2015-2030.

  • Robert Parker, April 2006, Score: 94-96

    Unquestionably the most compelling wine made at this estate since their perfect 1990, this renowned terroir has turned out a prodigious 2005 made from a blend of 70% Merlot, and equal parts Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Yields were only 34 hectoliters per hectare, and the alcohol content exceeds 13.5%. The bouquet is reminiscent of the 1990's with scents of blueberries, crushed rocks, acacia flowers, blackberries, and subtle wood. Stunningly rich and full-bodied, with a more tannic structure than the 1990 as well as abundant purity, freshness, and multiple layers, it is a noble, racy effort with fabulous potential. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2030.

  • Wine Spectator, April 2006, Score: 92-94

    Fabulous aromas of blackberry, licorice and flowers. Wonderful nose. Full-bodied, with racy tannins and a long finish. This is powerful and rich. This is very long and velvety. Gorgeous. The winemaker here thinks it could match the great 1990 and 189-91. Almost classic quality.

Region

St Emilion

South of Pomerol lies the medieval, perched village of St Emilion. Surrounding St Emilion are vines that produce round, rich and often hedonistic wines. Despite a myriad of soil types, two main ones dominate - the gravelly, limestone slopes that delve down to the valley from the plateau and the valley itself which is comprised of limestone, gravel, clay and sand. Despite St Emilion's popularity today, it was not until the 1980s to early 1990s that attention was brought to this region. Robert Parker, the famous wine critic, began reviewing their Merlot-dominated wines and giving them hefty scores. The rest is history as they say. Similar to the Médoc, there is a classification system in place which dates from 1955 and outlines several levels of quality. These include its regional appellation of St Emilion, St Emilion Grand Cru, St Emilion Grand Cru Classé and St Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé, which is further divided into "A" (Ausone and Cheval Blanc) and "B" (including Angélus, Canon, Figeac and a handful of others). To ensure better accuracy, the classification is redone every 10 years enabling certain châteaux to be upgraded or downgraded depending on on the quality of their more recent vintages.
