"Remarkably youthful colour with just faint tawny aging on the rim. A light, quite sweet nose with smoke and a touch of raisin. Medium-bodied on the palate, the tannins melted away but still well-balanced with admirable vivacity on the finish. Quietly impressive. (Note that this was my inaugural First Growth courtesy of Justerini & Brooks.)" Neal Martin, Wine Journal, Dec 1999 |
