The elegant nose is comprised by very ripe but not roasted aromas of red currant, poached plum, expansive spice elements, earth and floral touches. The dense, serious and overtly muscular big-bodied flavors possess impressive power and drive on the stylish if firmly structured and wonderfully persistent finish. This is an imposing wine, even in the context of what is typical for Grands Ech, and one that is also very much constructed for the long-term. (Burghound, 94 Pts)
