In April 2002 at the London Wine Trade Fair. Fine deep hue. Very dense nose: black olives, gravel on nose. Fine depth and very impressive integration. Succulent red fruits with spicy/toasty finish. Very fine. Maybe even better than the 2000? Again in Bordeaux in April 2003 where it was backward but with great purity. One off bottle, then a splendid example at Justerini a year later. The nose is quite closed: faint scents of blackberry and wet sand and gravel. The palate is ripe, opulent with vibrant fresh acidity. Very fleshy with good weight and a touch of black truffle on the toasty finish. Excellent.
