Bright medium yellow; wonderful nose, a symphony of wood, fruit, herbs and vinosity, complex, deep and classic; on the palate elegance and finesse, complex, juicy, smooth texture, beautifully rounded; very long. Excellent wine.
Lovely warm garnet; plummy fruit, young and very lively at 11 years old; traditional, firm, powerfully structured, lively, sève; excellent length. Long-lived, will easily last another 20 years.
Deep, dark, amber-red; powerful, rich and nutty, unfathomable depth; very powerful and concentrated, extremely pungent to the point of being overpowering, salty, very acidic; incredible length. An acquired taste. Not many people liked it tonight.
