Ruby color, dark intense fruit on the nose and on the palate, cherries and other dark berries, blackberry, black currant, mint, powerful (a true "heavyweighter"), balanced perfect to drink now and will likely improve even more by ageing

A little disappointed despite the score. I tried another bottle in 2015 and I remembered that one as even better. Silky tannins, great balance, pencil, black currant....everything typical of a great Bordeaux
