Community Tasting Note

Chasse_spleen Likes this wine: 93 points
September 14, 2013 - The initial nose is all Pauillac, cigar-box, pencil-shavings. But gradually the wine unfolds with a peacock-tail of spices (cinnamon, cardamom), before ending with distinct licorice notes. Better fruit than we expected.
The tannins are melting down, but still maintains a structure. The acidity remains the backbone.
Overall a very rewarding wine, still refreshing and not heavy.1 person found this helpful 4,710 views

Well, I would say that it will not really get better, but it will remain on this level for many years to come. So no hurry to drink up.
