Tasting Notes

Great color. Fabulous aromas of crushed blackberries, violets and toasted oak. Black olives too. Full-bodied, with powerful, ripe tanninsand amazing flavors of blueberries, dark chocolate and toast. It lasts for minutes on the palate. Reminds me of the 1989 Pétrus. Stunning Merlot. Best after 2012.
