Tasting Notes

A dark ruby/purple color is followed by a medium-bodied wine revealing elegant boysenberry and cherry notes interwoven with notions of crushed rocks, smoke, and herbs. This restrained, refreshing 2004 is ideal for drinking over the next 12-15 years.

87/89
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (165), June 2006

Firm, with loads of currants and berries and a floral edge. Full-bodied, with fine, chewy tannins and a long, finish. 60 percent Merlot, with some Cabernet Franc. A pretty wine. 2,500 cases made

89/91
James Suckling, Wine Spectator (April 05), April 2005

[M 60%, CF 38%, CS 2%] Deep colour with some brownish hints. Relatively opulent but not especially concentrated. A very mellow La Tour Haut Brion taking the vintage into account. Uncompromisingly dry on the finish but the tannins are very fine. Mild wine with no exaggerated characteristics. Delicate even. Pretty.
