Dark, brooding, intense. Waves of black fruit, smoke, tar, leather and earth. This also had an elegance to it, and a surprising amount of red fruit showing through; which was surprising given how brooding it first appeared. Very very good, but outshone by the ‘96 Margaux consumed side by side. Decanted for ca. 1hr before consuming.

Still needs a minimum of 2 hours to begin to open. Wonderfully complex nose of cedar, red current, earth, meat and leather. In the mouth, correspondingly complex. Mix of red and dark fruit. Tannins present, but soft. Long beautiful finish.

A thrilling St. Estephe, so smoky & animalistic that many of us went directly to N. Rhone. So youthful, wow… according to Jeff Leve it is finally in its drinking window since last year. A blend of 65% CS, 25% Merlot & 10% CF. Explosive intensity aroma of smoked meat, cigar box, earth, smoky prunes, cassis, leather, touch of barn & garrigue. Full body, echoing delightful smokiness from aroma layered with saline earthy red and black fruits, mild dustiness, sublime complexity and concentration, soft medium tannins.
