"Bright ruby-red, a bit less saturated than the Bonnes-Mares. Pristine, reticent, complex aromas of black fruits, violet and licorice. Suppler than the Bonnes-Mares but also extremely young, with superb flavor precision and grip. Still quite closed in on itself, though it already communicates a strong licorice flavor. A wonderfully shapely wine of great finesse." Vinous, Mar 2001 |
