Alongside its next-door neighbour, Latour, this, to me, is the wine of the vintage in the Medoc. It is an incredibly consistent performer and always an unlikely crowd pleaser, still loaded with sweet cherry red fruit. It’s more elegant in style than other vintages although you feel the sunshine in the wine which gives it weight. Archetypal Pauillac in character: cedar, cigar box leading to a wonderful finish. I adore how charming this wine is without being overbearing. At its peak now but will certainly hang on for a while.
