Rating: 93/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 108, May/June 2003 ($50-$65) Deep red-ruby. Explosive nose combines raspberry, roasted currant, grilled nuts and exotic spices. Rich, sexy, silky and full in the mouth, with expressive flavors of black raspberry, game, smoke and truffle. Finishes with strong but suave tannins and excellent length. St. Julien

Rating for France-Bordeaux-Pauillac: 96 (good year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>

great 5th growth that could easily be a 1st without breaking the bank
