Tasting commentary
The wine has a density and concentration never seen before, the berries having been small and not very juicy. Fresh aromas of raspberry and blackcurrant. A very tight structure, astonishing fullness and perfect balance. A great classic, this superlative vintage will also be a great wine for laying down.
