Ripe fruit and hints of tobacco hit the nose before you discover the palate has well-balanced acidity and silky tannins. There is a good concentration a blackberries and earthiness with a slight hint of liquorice. As with the estate's white, the finish goes on and on. This is one for the traditional Bordeaux lover.
No wonder Olivier Bernard was beaming. His 2007 is the latest in a line of stunning vintages which, apart from the amazing 2005, is his best wine since 2000. A brooding, spicy, damson nose leads on to a dense palate with blackberry, crushed cassis, tobacco and leather with a long, pure finish. The balanced, mouth-filling fruit is cloaked in velvety but significant tannins (higher than 2005) bestowing the wine with a fine, masculine, early-drinking style. Fantastic in the context of any vintage, and not far off the quality of Haut-Brion, this is an essential buy for any Claret-lover.
