Tasted at the 1999 horizontal at Bordeaux Index. One of my favourite ‘99s, this has a very lifted, well-defined nose that eschews the more opulent bouquet that Didier sometimes conjures. Blackberry, cedar, raspberry leaf, pencil shavings. The palate is medium-bodied, not quite as ebullient as the bottle in Bordeaux last year, but it has great vivacity and purity towards the finish. Sappy blackberry, boysenberry and strawberry with a touch of Asian spice. Excellent. Drink now-2025. Tasted June 2009.
Delicious red. Plenty of plum and blackberry character on the nose. Medium bodied with light silky tannins and a delicate, fruity finish. Best after 2003. 20000 cases made.
Good inky/purple colour, ripe black fruits on the palate. Persistent and well-balanced.
Dark, vigorous, peppery edges to ample summer pudding fruit.
Another top flight effort from this estate...outstanding concentration, purity and balance. This delicious 1999 will drink well young.
