  Consistent style with quite a few other Rothschild family wines from different countries and regions. Elegant and balanced, beautifully crafted and expressive. Enjoyable with food or by itself in 5-8 years.

  Four years on, indeed a more integrated and open wine emerged. Lovely red fruit, cherry, dark cherry with light plum, blackberry backdrop. Some wood, vanilla, spice but mostly it's the rich fruit with balanced acidity and graceful tannin layer. Good length. Don't get the negative overdone side of lushness a few note.

  Concentrated, quite well balanced. Blackcurrant on the nose, spice box, tobacco. A little bitter on the palate, good acidity and length. Lots of fruit. 90-92

  Rich and deep with a lovely nose. No rush to drink.

  Perfect pairing with reverse sear striploin. Well-balanced, great depth of fruit and some fine drying tannins that went well with the beef.
