91-93 NM. "This has everything I look for in a great claret. The nose is sweet at first, almost Pomerol like, developing into a lovely savory nose with scents of roast beef. The palate has a wonderful balance, superb acidity and impressive concentration. The austerity at the end balanced by the lovely sweet mid-palate. Definitely at its peak now. Checking Robert Parker's guide, in 1991 he believed the wine would be past it by 2000. Well, I think he'll have a pleasant surprise when he retastes this." Neal Martin, Wine Journal, Jun 2003 |
