89 Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2002
($27; bottled two weeks before my visit) Red-ruby. Aromas of pruneau, licorice and spicecake, with a suggestion of caramel. Sweet and supple; voluminous and aromatic. But less complex in the middle palate than the Gigondas. Finishes with substantial, slightly tarry tannins that seem a tad dry after the bottling.

WINE SPECTATOR SURPRISE
03/30/2005
by CanonMJ
This wine was rated the number one wine of 2002 or 2003 by wine spectator magazine. It is certainly a very good wine, but I cannot justify it as being THE wine of the year. I agree with Mr. Tanzer's rating...89-90. I don't know what the current price of this wine is...it was selling for 30 dollars a bottle. I think this is a fair price, but not more!
