Review

"It has the combination of elegance and power only the best vintages are capable of, with the classical aromas, great detail and nuance, very good balance and persistence. ... The palate is polished but shows plenty of energy and tension, the tannins are very fine and elegant, and the flavours are focused and clean. This has to be one of the greatest wines from the vintage. A legend in the making." - 96pts+, Wine Advocate
