Tasting Notes

85
Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book (4), December 2003

Transparent ruby. Mellow, biscuity nose – fully mature. A little spiky on the palate with acidity and volatility just starting to come to the fore. Rather hard work but with clean fruitiness dominating the palate, something the vintages of the 1970s above didn’t achieve. Slightly dry finish.
