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.
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.
