Bright ruby-red. Dark berries, licorice, fresh herbs and chocolatey oak on the nose. Densely packed and sweet, with good flesh and breadth to the dark fruit flavors. Fine-grained and nicely filled in. Finishes with serious tongue-dusting tannins and noteworthy persistence. An excellent vintage for this chateau.
