Plenty of juicy blackcurrant fruit and background oak are present in this plump, medium to full-bodied, ripe, well-made wine. Not nearly as tannic as I feared, this wine shows a forward plumpness, excellent purity, texture and length.
Pretty dried cherry, vanilla and berry character on the nose and palate. Full to medium body, fine tannins and a flavorful finish. A little fluid.
Mid garnet. Looks very slightly more evolved than the Léoville Barton tasted alongside. Already with some appeal on the nose. Fresh with light fruit and just slightly pinched finish. But admirably classic.
