  • What the experts say...

    L'impressionnant 1995, à la robe dense de couleur rubis-pourpre, présente un nez modérément intense d'olive noire, de cèdre, de framboise et de cerise allié à des notes de chêne neuf et grillé. (...) Il s'agit d'un vin énorme, peu évolué et doté de manière formidable, qui pourrait bien être le meilleur qu'ait produit la propriété. (11/97) Robert Parker

    The wine

    Harvested late in order to ensure that the grapes are fully ripe, this Pomerol is of an exceptionally high standard. Very well-balanced, rich and complex, the wines combine woody and fruity flavours (cherries, blackcurrants etc.). It has an impressive capacity to age in good vintages.
