Currant and raspberry, with milk chocolate and licorice on the nose. Full-bodied, with soft, silky tannins and a medium finish. Slightly one-dimensional on the palate. But fruity and stylish.¿'88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Drink now. 13,915 cases made. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 2009
