CRITIC REVIEWS
James Suckling
Very enticing sweet tobacco, cedar, tar and blackcurrant on the nose with hints of black mushrooms and violets. It’s full-bodied with layers of ripe tannins that are still slightly chewy, but show poise and focus. Juicy finish with a berry, iodine and walnut aftertaste. Just a touch of austerity at the end. Savory. Clearly one of the top wines of this very difficult vintage, along with Margaux and Lafleur. Drinkable now, but better in 2024.

Tasted blind. Deep garnet. Fragrant with dark red fruit and tea leaf. Fine-boned, dry and light and pretty dry on the finish. (JH)
