Nice red colour with a rose rim; 75% opaque. Initially subdued on the nose but lots of swirling releases an attractive and concentrated raisin fruit. Lovely fruit impact which holds throughout the palate, supported by the gentle tannins. The medium palate gives a chewy mouthfeel. The wonderful chewy flavours dominate the finish, giving a great length. A touch rustic compared to the Mouton '83. 91/100. 11-Jul-14. Decanted 2½ hours.
