gorgeous nose. perhaps a little lightweight but drinks beautifully. feminine and perfumed. amazingly no trace of the usual 88 harsh tannins.
masculine and beefy, especially compared to the 88 dujac roche. great on the nose with lots of complexity, but a little dry and tannic on the finish.
absolutely singing. to die for nose, great structure and balance. clear wine of evening for me.
lots of red fruits and earth. a bit more reticent than the rouget cros p, but still excellent.
coffee, chocolate, jam, licorice. it's all out there. not as overwhelmingly sweet as i remember it, but still needs a porterhouse.
lush and velvety, vanilla, toffee. excellent showing.
