  Weekly tasting group RWP #333; Some random wines (@ DJ): Beautiful bouquet with tertiary impressions of tobacco and chocolate. On the palate sweet spices, a firm amount of sweetness, chocolate, tobacco, good acidity and soft tannin. The wine is completely ready and at its peak now.

  I expected more given the price and pedigree but this has just enough depth and complexity to keep it from being a disappointment. Black fruit, cassis, plums, and a hard candy aspect on the nose. Mid-to-full bodied, with a dark fruit core, and soft tannins that gain traction on the finish.

  Has developed and opened up since I last tried it. But quite anonymous.

  Powerful dark berries on the nose. Taste is tannic, mixed with light bitterness and spices. Spices linger after. Very good.

  Weekly tasting group #138; Rothschild (@ WW): The bouquet is still a bit locked, but there are dark berry fruits, licorice and eucalyptus. On the palate dark berry fruits as well, sweet spices, graphite a touch of sweetness balanced by good acidity. An ok full bodied wine. Early maturity now and probably a bit better around 2016 – 2017. 88+ for tonight.
