| The nose has hints of spices & pepper. The palate was initially very rich, but with quite harsh tannins. With time, the tannins integrated more fully, while the initial richness subsided, and some green capsicum notes emerged. This enhanced the complexity of the wine and it was very enjoyable, but not a great wine. Both the tannins and the fruit carried through to the finish, and except for intensity, the wine could not be faulted.
My first Premier Cru Bordeaux, shows that an off year is not a complete write-off, but I'd like to taste a great year to see the full potential of these wines. |
