... The wine still has mammoth structure, tremendous reserves of fruit and concentration, and a finish that lasts close to a minute. The wine is massive, very impressively constituted... (Bordeaux Book, 4th Edition, Jan. 2003)
One of the stars of the vintage showed good, long-term form. Dense and classic and rather dry on the finish. Super fresh and refreshing.
Lean, elegant cedar and cassis aromas. Quite rich and austere.
