Estimate
...sweet, brambly fruit, singed, fragrant; amazingly sweet, showing a little age but beautiful...
...prototype for the appellation, feminine with delicate yet fragrant perfume, luscious flavors, but nothing out of balance.
Mature. smooth and finely textured, showing a beautiful bottle bouquet, ample fruity, meaty flavors and firm but integrated tannins. Elegant compared to some of the vintage's blockbusters, and a joy to drink.
