Tasting notes
A tight and focused red with blackberries, dark chocolate and currants. Full-bodied, round yet juicy. Lovely richness and brightness. Drink or hold.

Bright blackish crimson. Rather sour and savoury. Not enough sweet fruit! Yeast-extract flavours. (JR)
Always one of the sexiest wines from Bordeaux, and probably best drunk in its first decade of life, this hedonistic fruit-bomb offers up oodles of jammy black cherry and black currant fruit interwoven with some floral notes, subtle oak, lead pencil shavings and a bit of toast. Voluptuous, full-bodied and silky smooth, with no aggressiveness, the tannins seem to melt on the palate, while the finish is long, supple and extravagant. Drink it over the next decade.
