Fresh currants and raspberries pop out of the glass, together with oranges and cedar. Such purity of fruit in the nose. Full-bodied, yet so refined and vertical.
...well-defined blackberry and raspberry fruit; pencil shavings and undergrowth scents...harmonious palate is very well balanced, with pliant tannins, perfectly judged acidity, and an engaging build in the mouth... Excellent.
Pure cassis, graphite, violets, damp earth, and chocolate notes...richer, medium to full-bodied, powerful Margaux.
...aromas of sweet berries and plums mingled with violets, orange rind and raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, lively and nicely concentrated, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a seamless, elegant profile...
A touch restrained but pure, bright, juicy and intense. Palate silky and substantial with the backing of plentiful tannins. Perception of old-vine intensity. Builds to an impressively long finish.
