Tasting Note: The top wine at the Fête de la Fleur dinner in 1997: very sweet, good fruit, rich, characterful. At Rodenstock's blind tasting it was unmistakable, now mature, fully evolved bouquet, lovely flavour (1998)...Most recently: a glowing, mature, tile-red; sweet, now very soft, rich, complete. Tannin assimilated. Last noted at the MW Haut-Brion tasting, Jan 2000 ***** Superb M.B.
