Description
'...the wine exhibited more ripe fruit than I had previously noticed. There is still plenty of tannin, the wine reveals a complex, earthy cedar, curranty nose with dried fruit and herb components, full body and a classic, old style personality. It displays more finesse and character than it did at a younger age. RP Bordeaux 3rd Ed.
