The wine has a fine, deep, intense colour. The complex bouquet displays notes of cocoa and vanilla, more subtle hints of smoke and tobacco-leaf and a fleeting suggestion of blackberry and humus. From the attack, it develops highly complex aromas around well-integrated tannins. The finely balanced structure combines wild berry fruit flavours (blackberry, bilberry) to give great richness on the palate, lengthening into a dense, substantial, highly expressive finish.

The wine has a rather deep colour with a garnet tint and an open, generous bouquet displaying vanilla and wild berry aromas together with a spicier note reminiscent of nutmeg.

Description and Reviews: *** 91+ points Robert Parker *** "The dense ruby/purple-colored 2003 is surprisingly fresh and crisp, displaying no signs of the vintage’s extreme heat.

Give it 4-5 years of cellaring, and drink it over the next two decades." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 2006

notes of lilac, lily and violet, enhanced by a point of roast coffee. From a broad and ample attack, with pronounced flavours of ripe fruit together with leather and toast, the body builds on beautifully textured tannins, forward but already well-rounded. The long, generous finish reveals all the character and class of a very fine Pauillac.

“...pretty and airy blend of white flower, pear and white peach aromas that are in keeping with the round, intense and obviously mineral-driven flavors...really lovely depth and length. Terrific.” Burghound
