Bordeaux / France

Red

Juicy tobacco leaf, cassis and black currant characteristics are present in this medium-bodied, dark plum/ruby-colored 2003. There is also a smoked earth/Graves-like character in addition to a jammy cherriness and a medium-bodied, spicy, heady finish. Drink it over the next 5-7 years. Aug 2014, www.robertparker.com
