Hervé Pennequin
C - Slightly too brown for 2004. N - Intense bouquet of spices, cloves with cacao aromas, dried flowers, light dusty. P - Dried tannins, raisin flavors with high spices characters, lacks finesse, very short, dusty, earthy.
Andreas Larsson
C - Medium ruby. N - Red fruits, chocolate, almonds, young. P - Medium bodied, quiet austere, high acidity, medium persistence. “Did I hear insipid?”
Teresa Perez
C - Clean, brilliant, low density, ruby red. N - Cooked fruit, cacao notes, tasted coffee with hint balsamic aromas, medium intensity. P - Suave attack, lively and fresh in the mouth with fruit and well polished tannins, medium intensity.
Yoichi Sato
C - Clear, dense, pale garnet with orange hue. N - Chocolate, black fruit compote and spice, elegantly put together, rather light bouquet. P - Supple, caressing, hint of astringency, elegant flavors, balanced, medium persistence, quite attractive.
Virginia Philip
C - Medium + viscosity, red center, pink rim. N - Red fruits, loads of American oak, watch the oak, moderate
quality and intensity. P - Too much oak hides fruit, moderate + finish. Too much use of oak hides fruit and damages quality and balance.
