Pauillac, Fifth Growth

"Good bright ruby. Musky aromas of raspberry, cassis and bitter chocolate, with a floral nuance I don't often find in this wine. Dense and sweet but lively, with a medicinal black fruit austerity, very good flavor definition and a faint mintiness. Classic raw berry cabernet character. Shows good density and sweetness on the persistent finish, which features rich, broad tannins." - Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, May/June 2003
