Estimate
This accelerates on the palate with incredibly ripe tannins and finesse. Full body, roasted fruit, leather and grilled meat. Dried flowers, too. It shows superb tannin backbone and polish. Tight and youthful.
A sensational nose of crème de cassis and incense...a touch of lead pencil shavings and forest floor. Dense purple...one of the biggest, richest wines I tasted from the Médoc. It is full-bodied, pure, and impressively endowed.
...aromas of mineral, licorice, lead pencil and blackberry follow through to a full body, with ultrafine tannins and a caressing, pretty finish.
Explosive, superripe aromas of black raspberry, currant, graphite and tobacco leaf. Outsized, opulent and generous...
Attractive sweet oak spice and char over a lovely fresh cassis fruit aroma, with a very slight meaty note. Toasty flavours over fine-grained, rich tannins...
