Nice balance of leathery and ripe red and blue berries, toasted licorice and cumin. Soft and fruity without the green or herbaceous notes. The palate is lively with a tight structure in the mid-palate. A bit patchy in the texture. It finishes with dry tannins and a touch short.
Retasted in Jan 2020, the mid palate is ripe and expansive red fruits with smooth mid-palate, though finish is still a touch short. To increase the pts by 2 pts to 89.

Hier kann man ran. Toller Medoc - Style mit gutem Tanin, der macht genau das, was man erwartet, und das ganz gut. Allrounder.

Bonne surprise. Vin structuré, arômes tertiaires qui se développent après une heure. Bon équilibre. Peut encore vieillir.

Fruity and lively aroma. Delicious plums, berries aplenty. Forward with soft tannins. Light body and finish.
