Taste: Quite elegant with some unfinished tannins. Pleasant to drink, can stand on its own. Had it with chestnut potage, and continued to drink it after. Long finish that makes you want more. Will determine flavors on second tasting.
Oak, Blackberries.
I hyped myself a lot before the wine, was disappointed at the first glass, but it really grew on me.
I would keep it a bit longer. Opening next bottle in 2 years.

Deep ruby colour. Medium and developing nose with red plum, blackberry, eucalyptus, black pepper, cedar and tobacco. Medium taste of red plum, blackberry, eucalyptus, black pepper, cedar and tobacco. Medium (+) long and dry finish. Medium acidity. Medium tannins. Medium body. A very good Pauillac. Drink now or over the next ten years. Goes well with beef or lamb.
