96 Points

Sunday, April 28, 2024 - Brick red.
Aromas of cassis, tobacco, espresso, stable, cedar and forest floor.
Lively grainy tannins. Perfectly tuned blackcurrant acids and dark chocolate bitterness.
Palate of cassis, sloe, cloves, blackberry preserve, walnut and singed wood.
A rather powerful, multi-layered and vivacious Medoc with ripe black fruit, exquisite spicy and nutty aromas and a long bittersweet finish. Drink within 10-15 years. Tasted 2024.
Tasted alongside Ch Talbot 1982 and the present wine was powerful with livelier acidity but not as elegant as the matched wine.
