Unbelievably rich, plummy nose. Drenched
damsons. Glorious meaty taste. Very young
and "irony". Coffee bean finish. Faultless. Then tasted from magnum, classic nose showing the Cabernet Franc that, of course, is not in Petrus. Great finesse and elegance. So meaty and so beautifully silky, with lots of liquorice. Fans out with extraordinary flavour. Firmer than Petrus when I saw them together. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
