Tasted blind at Farr's 2002 Bordeaux tasting. An exotic, ripe bouquet with black cherries, dried orange peel and raspberry coulis with subtle tobacco notes developing with aeration. Superb clarity. The palate is rounded and sensuous, opening up with time, plush and generous with ripe strawberry, cassis and orange zest, but good structure underpinning everything. Great length and persistency, but only just out of the starting blocks. Tasted October 2009.
