Garnet brown. Aroma of berry, allspice, leather, candied lavender. Ethereal on the extraordinary palate, clear dry fruit fading but still there with a lovely progression towards the back, tannins vanished, nice acidity. Complex and constructed. 50 + 17 + 18 + 9 = 94. [I recorded this while I was having lunch at La Tour d'Argent and made a note at the end that I was probably over-rating everything because of the location. However, I have not changed the rating from then.]

Bright red fruit (cherry), strong acidity. Slight spice. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable. Open but pretty primary. Cork slightly raised. Good fill on bottle. Popped and poured.
