More gravitas and oomph than the Las Cases but a smidge less inviting. Still presenting substantial tannins but the fruit gets a foot in the water and shines with dark cherry, iron and soil.

Still very primary and closed; tons of potential with deep lush fruit and tannins, will try this again in 5 yrs.

A nice 5th growth from a vintage that is often overlooked. Eighteen years old and it still has 5 left easy.
