  "One of the rare estates where the 2006 is a step above the 2005 - one of those wines that makes doing a vertical so rewarding, as you discover the hidden successes, and this is one I highly recommend. Waves of sweet blackberry and juicy raspberry fruits, toned and muscular tannins, sinewy with bounce, extremely inviting overall. Tobacco leaf and slate, signature Pauillac pencil lead and grilled cedar all combine to give a drawn out finish. The underground cellar opened in this year, so they were able to extend the length of ageing because had more space for the barrels, and it has paid off. 80% new oak.

  "This shows lovely richness and balance for a 2006, with medium, round tannins that envelop the palate and plenty of currant, chocolate and cedar undertones. It’s long and pretty. Developing nicely. Drink or hold."

  Weinwisser
  "Dunkles Violett-Lila. Klares Cabernet-Frucht-Bouquet, recht fein im Ansatz, Palisandernoten, zarter Rauchtouch, die Tiefe anzeigend. Hoch feiner Gaumen, Lakritzenoten, sattes, fleischiges Extrakt in der Mitte, trotz der Eleganz auch eine tolle Rasse zeigend, lange endend, genial wie der 1998er, kann 19/20 erreichen."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Firm, crisp, full-bodied, youthful, tannic, and structured, this classically styled wine offers a classic austere lean to its layers of ripe, dark red, and black fruits. It is a crisp and crunchy Pauillac that could use air, more time, or both. Drink from 2026-2050."

  Wine Spectator
  " There's an excellent dark color to this, with blowsy, rich aromas of crushed blackberry and currant. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish. The center palate will fill in with time. This has lovely balance."
