Again fairly confected, the alcohol poking through on the nose. Brambly, slightly vegetal palate. Not encumbered by wood, but a dash of (?wood)spice on the palate.

Utilizing 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is fleshy, round and has an earthy, red fruit profile. The open and oaky finish combines espresso bean and cherry characteristics. 86 - 88 Pts

Nothing special. Decanted for 3 hrs. Drank as a 2nd bottle, following a 2000 Chateau Dominique. Wasnt bad, but I wont be rushing back to buy more.

Admittedly too young to drink, but disappointingly thin, lacking expression. Nothing to compare with the excellent 2000 and 2005.
