(Reserve de Comtesse) It was really showing well. It really showed the depth of ripe fruit backed up by solid structure that makes this vintage so special. Great nose of cassis, kirsch, tar, red flowers, tobacco and slight green element that added to the complexity. Wonderful depth on the palate with great purity and sound acidty. Good presence in the midpalate. A very complete wine.
