Sunday, January 20, 2008 - This is a very impressive wine considering the poor vintage.A pale ruby colour with garnet rim.Just poured the nose is closed and unclean but it improves constantly after half an hour in the glass.A very ripe fruits,toasty,blueberry,cherries,roasted herbs,black pepper,orange peel,liquorice,cedar,tobacco really nice, it delivers in the glass.
The mouth is soft,with mature tannins,very well balanced,long,it lacks power but point out elegance and finesse.Overall a complete success from this famous Chateau ready to drink now but it has some more year aheah.Great stuff!!!!!!
