94 Points

Monday, March 18, 2019 - Stunning wine of exceptional character. Lifted and minty, deep black currants. The palate features fabulous definition, clean flavours, and a focused (and slightly warm) finish. A touch of barnyard adds interest to a Bordeaux that convinces on the vineyard, more than on the (exemplary) winemaking. So young, so structured, so generous. The tannins are firm and prevalent, and the ripeness of the fruit in this vintage helps to justify the structure. I like it, but some may find the finish a little to furry for its own good. Still pretty primary. 92-94+
