Immense nose .... chocolate, leather, cigar box, soft black fruits and ripe plums. Palate is full on concentrated flavours, layers of fruit, tobacco and vanilla. Wine has good weight, acidity and sweetness. Firm, ripe tannic structure. Length is very good. Superb. 19/20 - Tasted at JP Moueix April 2008
