Description
"Medium ruby to medium garnet colour. Some fine sediment,
Nose: Almonds hit the nose first. Then in quick succession leather and a lovely animal / farm nose, rich, almost oily lilies of the valley. Finally some black currant, paprika and black pepper.
Taste: The arrival is fresh and fruity, almost lean in body. Then on the mid palate the weight grows to medium bodied and ads an oily element to its texture. There’s more lilies of the valley, lots of blueberry and some cassis. The oiliness carries through the exit into the aftertaste, where there are rounded tannins, more blueberry, cassis and a little pepper.
A medium bodied, mature Pauillac, that drinks very well. Excellent with steak and mushrooms."
Total Score: 89 points.
