Exceptional elegance, surprising for a 1997 Bordeaux. Still fairly closed but complex nose with little currant and blackberries, vanilla and some pencil. Medium bodied with red fruits, well integrated tannins. Long and elegant finish.
Incredibly powerful, dense and very Elegant! Complex wine with ripe fruits, kirsch, blood, tar, pencil and smoke tones. Decant in time (6 hours?) because very tight on the palate. But better wait another 10-15 years.
Dark nearly black colour. Over-ripe fruits, multiple berries, cherries, Asian spices and sandalwood in the nose. Classic Pauillac and very elegant on the palate. Very powerful with chocolate, kirsch and mineral tones. For a long future.
