Note di degustazione
The finest wine I have ever tasted from this estate, the 2009 exhibits a dense purple color, lots of caramelized black currant and cherry fruit, hints of espresso and earth, and a dense, plump, corpulent personality. It is ideal for drinking over the next 10-15 years. (Tasted once.)

Deep purple. Intense and floral with deep undertow. Very sweet and then a little charcoal-like chew on the finish. Lots of acidity. Embryonic but quite dramatic. Tarry finish. (JR)
Aromas of black olives, sweet tobacco and dark fruits follow through to a full body, with silky tannins and a delicately fruity finish. Balanced. Better in 2015. James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
Tasted at Chateau Clinet. This is certainly showing sur-maturite on the nose with unavoidable prune/raisin notes and some volatility. The palate is full-bodied, soft entry but lacking freshness, particularly on the Rioja-like finish. Tasted April 2010.
