delicious! drinking perfectly now at 13 years. the fruit and tannins balance beautifully with the mineral and lead pencil in proportion. When Bordeaux is like this, why would I drink anything else?

Ruby core with a slight brick fade. Powerful cassis on the nose. Mineral, earthy character. A hint of black olive? Light and elegant on the palate with a chalkiness to the mouthfeel. Quite linear really. Medocain rather than Pessac style. Little complexity. Competent.

Vigorous, purple red core with a little fade on the rim. Vibrant cassis, but not a typical Pessac nose - the wine lacks the gravelly minerality of its youth. Good fruit on the palate with fine tannins but not very complex. Chalky on the finish.

Au Gazellig, nez sur les fruit rouge et un peu de cuire. En bouche, encore beaucoup de fruits, tanins fondus. Belle longueur. Excellent.
