Scoring 90/100 parker points, this red wine from the very good 1995 vintage, is "a classic vin de garde, with a saturated ruby/purple color, and a tight but promising nose of sweet plum and cassis fruit intertwined with underbrush, vanillin, and licorice scents. The wine is ripe, medium to full-bodied, and rich, as well as unyielding, ferociously tannic, pure, and layered. The finish is extremely dry (sec, as the french would say), with a brooding angularity and toughness. In spite of this, my instincts suggest the requisite depth is present to balance out the structure." Drink 2007 - 2025. An ideal christening gift. Saveover £440 on the individual bottle price. This wine is shipped in its original wooden box . |
