92++ much too young….

Black Cherries with hints of olive and wooded truffle. Long luscious mouthfeel and finish encapsulate this amazing Bordeaux

I’m a HUGE fan here. This wine impressed me every time. I’ve had the 2000 and 2012, and now the 2015. I opened the 15 by mistake, but it delivered. I let it sit in decanter for an hour, and POW a ripe Smokey hem. Coffee and blackberries on the pallet. Nice tannic structure with some good acidity. You can easily see how this can evoke for decades.

17/20 (92/100) Заметные тона кожи в первом носе; в развитии - черника, ежевика, чёрная смородина и ваниль. Тельное с высокой кислотностьюн и зрелыми, округлыми танинами. Заметна нота чёрного шоколада во вкусе. Большой потенциал к развитию, но наслаждаться вином можно уже сейчас. (02.10.2017)
