Wide with a forward black-cherry note, even a hint of Sage – slowly a beautiful clear note of fruit runs through the middle – very precocious, very impressive. Fine tannin with good acidity that forms the basis of a lovely mouth-watering finish – and there’s even a little reprise after a minute. Wide on the palate with fruit that’s almost as good as nose. A really super wine that had the density and presence to walk all over the ‘95 Pomerol (Lagrange) that preceded it.

A little more red and cream to go with the bouquet garni, just a hint of creme brulee too. Really executive
texture – plenty of svelte tannin. Perfect balance, the fruit that follows just grows and grows on the
tongue. Again this shows some oak flavour and texture on the finish, but it will soon fade. A super buy.
