  "Sattes Rubin, feiner lila Rand. Verführerisches Bouquet, Red-Currant-Pastillen, Waldhimbeeren und Cassis, frisch und verspielt, dahinter aber eine dichte Süsse. Saftiger, seidiger Gaumen, wieder mit sehr viel Fruchtdruck, mit Aromen zwischen blauen und roten Beeren, dahinter Dörrfrüchte, Kandis, im Finale ein Hauch von Rosinen (heisses Jahr oder überreifes Traubengut), erotisches, fast erschlagendes Finale."

  "Sweet tobacco and plum with hints of leather and cassis on the nose. Full bodied, with big velvety tannins and lots of fruit. Very rich and powerful, even chewy. Give this some time to mellow out. Pull the cork after 2016. Find the wine"

  "Wow. This shows so much ripe fruit and berry character with just the right hint of lead pencil and spice. Full-bodied and very chewy. Big and powerful. Beautiful wine. Superb. Best after 2012. 14,000 cases made."

  The Wine Advocate
  "A brilliant effort, this 2003 displays a vigorous, intact, deep blue/purple color as well as notes of scorched earth, barbecue spices, incense, creme de cassis and cedarwood. Long, lush, medium to full-bodied, round and generous, this opulent Pauillac can be drunk now and over the next 5-8 years."

  "Very dark purple. Looks exceptionally youthful. Very sumptuous, top-quality oak on the nose. Dusty, mineral, interesting flavours. Leapt out of the glass. This is exciting! Dense and complete. Just a bit dry and sudden on the finish at present."
