..offers black raspberry, menthol & a whiff of meat. Fat, ripe, dense & rich but classically dry; this came across as a bit monolithic...nicely fresh for the vintage in spite of youthfully tough tannins. The broad finish hints at licorice.
...ripe black berry fruit and cassis aromas that introduce rich, sappy and imposingly voluminous flavors that possess excellent intensity and impeccable balance on the long and palate staining finish...
...emerges from the glass with sweet dark cherries, flowers and mint. The Boudots is classy and elegant from start to finish, with an open, textured personality that should make it accessible fairly early on...
...Scented and rather voluptuous. Here is fruit that seems to stand up to the Méo oak! Fresh and vibrant and upright and delivers lots of (very slightly oaky) pleasure. Lots of sweetness. Very clean and refreshing.
