Wine
Spectator: 91/100:
"Bright aromas of
blackberries, cherries, currants and toasted oak follow through to a
full-bodied palate, with chewy tannins. Long and silky. Racy. Best after
2009."
Robert
Parker : 89/ 100
"This angularly-styled La Mission possesses hard tannin that may or
may not dissipate over time. It exhibits a dark ruby color in addition
to a sweet perfume of dusty, loamy soil notes interwoven with notions of
white flowers, blueberries, black currants, and hints of toasty oak in
the background. Medium-bodied and austere, it requires 2-4 years of
bottle age, and should keep for 12-15. A small, 17-acre vineyard located
near the classified Margaux estate of Giscours, Mille Roses merits a
look by serious consumers."
