Tasting Notes
"There is superb fruit here, and what some term "grip," or structure. The concentration the word implies suggests weight, but it's flavor, not heaviness, that is predominant. The Cabernet Sauvignon fruit is exquisite now, but expect it to become even more velvety over the next decade." - Pierre Seillan, Vigneron
Acclaim
92 points, The Wine Advocate, Robert Parker, Jr, December 2000
"This wine has an opaque purple color, big, powerful, highly extracted flavors, amazing richness for a wine of this vintage, and a long, muscular, dense finish. It needs a good 3-4 years of cellaring, yet should keep for two decades."
