Estimate
..profound perfume of violets, black raspberries, and creamy, toasty new oak. Very full-bodied, with a dreamy opulence, gobs of fruit, an unctuous texture, and powerful finish, this wine manages to balance intensity with great elegance.
Velvety, concentrated and beautifully balanced. The raspberry flavor and vanilla oak marry seamlessly and ride effortlessly over rich tannins.
..reminded me of the extraordinary '89 Haut-Brion and La Mission. Thick, dense, huge & sweet but with excellent verve. A fleshy La Mouline that's packed with flavor. Finishes extremely long and sweet, with substantial ripe, chewy tannins
Very deep. Medium evolution. Very very rich and exciting. Great depth of flavour. Not that intense. Hints of liquorice. Lovely, dense, rich and melded. A whole wine.
