Estimate
...a monument to classicism with great tannin, extraordinary delineation... sweet, ripe cassis fruit intermixed with vanilla, melon, fruitcake & a multitude of spices... phenomenally concentrated yet wonderfully fresh & vigorous...
...this reminded me of a great vintage of Latour. Dense and extremely concentrated; explosive yet totally backward. There nothing playful about this infant claret. Finishes with extraordinary, slow-building persistence. Very serious juice..
Amazingly focused, complex and deep, packed with currant, plum and berry flavors and notes of cedar and chocolate. The structure is tightly reined in and needs considerable cellaring to show what it can do.
