Tasting Notes

87
Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book (4), December 2003

This wine is a success for the vintage, notably superior to the 1993 at this stage, with a distinctive bouquet of espresso, fig and black cherry, and a medium-bodied, supple palate impression with good concentration and the inner sweetness comes from advanced maturity. As Mitjavile says, ‘I would prefer to pick ripe fruit in the rain than unripe fruit in the sun’.
