Tasting Notes

Aromas of violet, blackberry and dried flowers. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish. Layered and delicious. Give a little more bottle time.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2007.

Score: 90

James Suckling, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2007+ 01 January 2007

This impressively constructed wine offers a saturated deep ruby/purple color, followed by elegant aromas of berry fruit intermixed with tobacco, flowers, and vanillin scents. It is layered and medium to full-bodied, with outstanding purity and fruit extraction. Although deep, rich, and powerful for a wine from this estate, it has not lost any of its elegance or potential complexity. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025.

Score: 90
