2002 Oriel L'Exception Saint-Emilion, France

(91 points) "This shows complexity and length. Plenty of blackberry and toasted oak on the nose follow through to a medium- to full-bodied palate, with a solid core of fruit and firm tannins. Long and silky finish. Lots going on in the glass. This is a new tiny-production, handmade wine that was fermented in 225-liter barrels. From Château Quinault. Best after 2007." Wine Spectator
