95 Points

Friday, November 14, 2014 - 4 Days 4 Great Events and lots of Parker Points; 11/14/2014-11/18/2014 (Paris & London): Double decanted for about 2 hours and observed over a good hour. Needs a lot of decanting. We should have done more as it only showed its true face at the end of our dinner.Side by side with Cos 90( Papies 96) and las cases 1985(Papies 95).
Amazingly it felt still very young! We have tried this wine a few times and have had a lot of bottle variation too. Smoky side on the nose, still good core of rich dark fruit, elegant and very balanced. Light leathery side, light pepper but still a healthy and solid core of dark fruits ,good acidity and impressively fresh.always a great experience albeit not the best we have had with this great wine. 95 on the day and has a loooong life ahead
