Tasting notes
Just bought by Haut-Brion. Deep crimson. Some interesting evolution on the nose. Relatively light and tart but with some integrity. A bit skinny overall though. (JR)

Good red-ruby. High-pitched aromas of currant, licorice, brown spices and wild herbs, plus a whiff of geranium. Suave and smooth in the mouth, with ripe acidity giving shape to the red berry, spice and floral flavors. Juicy wine with a calcaire pungency--and enough stuffing to support its brisk acids. Finishes with a firm tannic spine. I'd wait five years before pulling the cork.
