Rating: 95/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 77, March/April 1998. A half-shade lighter than the Suchots. Deeper, sappier aromas of black fruits, oak spice, cocoa and minerals. Wonderfully concentrated and thick in the mouth; boasts fabulous sweetness and a vibrant core of spicy fruit. Really amazing material here. Again, the extraordinary finishing fruit makes the tannins virtually disappear.
