Superb. Peppery, smoky fragrance, palate superb balance of grip, bite and fruit. Parker used to give Cuilleron reds absurdly low marks (I think this one got 79) complaining that they were excessively vegetal, but the Revue des Vins de France raved about them. Having got huge enjoyment from this wine over the past six years, I think RdVF got it right.

Smoky, sharp, earthy and acidic - and very exciting - this really soared, amazingly fresh

Only very slightly corked, but the wine was certainly flat - strong gamey fruit, but lacking in oomph
