Score 15/20 · Drink 2003-2007, Jancis Robinson MW, Mar 2003

Muted compared to the 1996 and more evolved though in a minor key. Slight cheesiness and rusty nails quality. Sweet, almost syrupy start with slightly too little acidity to keep it appetising. Short. (JR)

Score 91+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Bright ruby-red. Vibrant, wild aromas of crunchy red berries, soy sauce, game, minerals and cola. Supple, dense and very young; packed with fruit. Slight gamey/truffley quality. Firm tannins and acids give the wine excellent backbone for aging. Finishes long and subtle, with terrific grip. A very unevolved wine that may ultimately merit a higher score.
