Description

Many notes tracing its evolution. Most recently double decanted. Surprisingly deep, lovely fragrant spicy crisp fruit, sweet, soft delicious. Good length and enouh tannin to take it effortlessly into the next decade. August 2006 ****(*) Michael Broadbent

Tasted by Mingmong on 9/10/2011 & rated 95 points: Earthy, underbrush, vegetal, sour red fruits on the nose. Cassis, earth, eucalyptus, capsicums, tobacco and graphite. Excellent classical wine.

Tasted by Paul S on 9/10/2011 & rated 94 points At peak, and immensely enjoyable. In a night of many very good, but previous few truly great wines, this stood out for me by a country mile. It was such a classic claret, with capsicums, eucalyptus, mint and plenty of tobacco leaf on the nose, pure left-bank aromas that danced alongside scents of undergrowth lined with lots of graphite and cedar wood, all undergirded with a lovely lush cassis note. A beautiful Pauillac nose that made me guess GPL. Got the vintage wrong though. The palate was so beautifully resolved at this stage that I thought it may have been a 1983. Here, silky tannins framed lovely cigar ash and tobacco smoke flavours which wreathed themselves around a core of pure cassis and dark cherry notes. Beautiful stuff and wonderfully integrated, it glided away in a whole, seamless and very classy mouthful. The finish rounded the wine off as deliciously as it started, with more of that beautifully pure fruit wed to little floaty bits of cassis, tobacco and stewed tea. Beautiful, this was at peak - I enjoyed every last drop.
