Awful wine. No points for subtly. Confirmed everything that is wrong with this style of wine making. Tasted next to a 59 Calon Segur which offered everything you could want in a wine. A sad statement about trophy wines that offer no QPR yet seem to attract such strangely positive reviewed. I wonder if it were served blind whether anyone would rate this so highly.
lovely nose of sweet cherries, cloves, earthy and a little leather. On the palate it is slightly drying out, but with lovely hints of fruit and a full long finish. Very good really and a surprise given its age.

Wonderful. Plenty of vibrant fruit and lots of acidity to keep it fresh. Mushroom, herbs, cherry and forest floor with silky smooth tannins and fragrant perfumed long supple finish.
