Estimate
The smoke, almond, dark-berry and plum character is impressive... Full body, round and silky tannins and beautiful fruit and spice undertones. Plenty of coffee and cedar flavors at the end. A pretty Duhart.
Firm and tannic, this wine's rich structure is balanced by a concentrated blackberry flavor and bright acidity. Drink from 2026.
This has a mix of silky and charcoal-edged texture carrying gently steeped black currant, plum and cherry fruit flavors along, while lovely perfumed black tea and violet notes infuse the finish. Shows sneaky length, with a lingering iron detail...
...an open, expressive nose of warm red currants, black raspberries and spice cake with nuances of cedar chest, bay leaves and tobacco plus a waft of rose hips. Medium-bodied, vibrant and refreshing in the mouth, it has a good amount of chewy tannins and layers of lively red and black fruits, finishing on an earthy note.
...an intense bouquet of blackberry, undergrowth, mint and pencil shaving scents that soar from the glass, demonstrating much more conviction than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and well-judged acidity, and quite natural and classic in style...
...a surprisingly charming, elegant and medium-bodied Pauillac... With perfumed notes of spice-box, cedarwood, toast, and sweet black currant fruit...sweet tannin...
Solid, dense, thick wine with real intensity of both fruit and tannin... Earthbound...
