Jancis R had a big write up on this some time ago. V ripe blackberry, creaminess and burnt wood. Lush tannins; pillowy fruit. A lot of oak. OK, the components, which are all intense, are in balance, but this all feels like a sheen far above the potential soul of the wine. I doubt that will ever be let out. Indulgent, but standardised, and hence not contemplative. The scale of everything kept us to half the bottle. Striking, and enjoyable to taste: 89.
