Note di degustazione
Smells warm, gentle and dark fruited. Rather mild-mannered. Juicy and fresh and fine-boned on the palate, with a cool tannic freshness but no aggression. Tangy dark fruit to the long finish. (JH)

A part of the charismatic and quality oriented Comte von Neipperg’s empire, this reliable, over-achieving Castillon boasts a dense ruby/purple color in addition to abundant black currant and black cherry fruit intermixed with notions of forest floor and spring flowers. A juicy, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel as well as super purity and ripeness, and beautiful integration of oak, acidity, tannin and alcohol suggest this delicious, front end-loaded value selection should drink nicely for 8-10 years. It is another sleeper of the vintage. Some barely noticeable drying tannins in the finish kept my score from going higher.
Sweet black cherries on the nose. Firm, dry tannins, really very dry. Paper-fine and fresh but not much in the middle. (JH)
