"A part of the charismatic and quality oriented Comte von Neipperg’s empire, this reliable, over-achieving Castillon boasts a dense ruby/purple color in addition to abundant black currant and black cherry fruit intermixed with notions of forest floor and spring flowers. A juicy, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel as well as super purity and ripeness, and beautiful integration of oak, acidity, tannin and alcohol suggest this delicious, front end-loaded value selection should drink nicely for 8-10 years. It is another sleeper of the vintage. Some barely noticeable drying tannins in the finish kept my score from going higher."

"Good full ruby. Enticing aromas of boysenberry, black cherry, chocolate and spicy oak. Bright and juicy in the mouth, with lovely violet lift to the black fruit and herb flavors. Finishes very long and fresh: you can really tell these vines grow on calcaire-rich soils! A lovely wine that is drinking well already but has the stuffing to last another ten years. A major success for the vintage."
