Tasting Notes

Sweet and a bit spindly on the nose. Lots of acidity and toughness. A bit jagged. Needs lots of time. I should probably have tasted this out of the order presented and just before the Haut-Brion as opposed to just after the Pétrus, which is not a flattering position in any tasting line-up.

Score: 17

Very complex, with blackberries, flowers and minerals. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a fresh, sweet fruit aftertaste. Refined La Mission. Beautiful. Best after 2008.

Score: 92
