"No doubt Bordeaux needs more wines like this, emphasizing ripe, fleshy fruit (in this case 100% Merlot from relatively modest yields for this price point of 55 hectoliters per hectare). More powerful and chunkier than usual (13% natural alcohol), this totally tank-fermented and aged wine is designed to give immediate pleasure, and this looks to be the best they have made. 87-88 points" - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #188
