Another sleeper of the vintage, this under-priced, beautifully made Pauillac exhibits a deep ruby/purple color along with a sweet bouquet of creme de cassis, licorice, tapenade, and spice box. Medium to full-bodied with silky tannin and low acidity, it is a pure, expressive wine to drink over the next 12-15 years.
Aromas of currant and mineral, with hints of licorice. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins, great texture and a medium finish.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
