Chateau Lassegue St. Emillon 2003

Robert Parker 89
"The debut vintage for American Jess Jacksons new baby is a dark plum/ruby-hued effort offering scents of damp earth, ripe black currants, cherries, and hints of licorice and new wood. Possessing high tannin, medium body, and an austere finish, it is a good first effort meant for serious connoisseurs with patience as it will require cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016."

Anthony Dias Blue 92
"Jess Jackson picked a difficult vintage to make his first Saint Emilion but his new chateau has yielded a lovely, ripe (but not too ripe) wine bursting with clean plum and fresh acidity; it is long, pure and beautifully
balanced and showing rich fruit, soft oak and excellent breeding. An auspicious debut. Gorgeous package."
