| 2006: 96 Points - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate: "Since 1998, no other Bordeaux estate except Ausone has had such a superlative record of quality. A dense purple color as well as an extraordinary perfume of crushed black currants, licorice, wet stones, and subtle background oak are found in this tannic, dense, masculine-styled 2006. Backward and extraordinarily pure, it is built like a Manhattan skyscraper with exceptional focus, depth, texture, and length. " |
