Deep purple-black in color, it slowly reveals the most gorgeous perfume of kirsch, lilacs, black raspberries and warm blackcurrants with underlying nuances of cigar box, rose hip tea, cloves, licorice and pencil lead plus a waft of garrigue. Medium-bodied and built like a brick house with a firm yet beautifully ripe, finely pixelated tannic backbone and seamless freshness supporting the amazing intensity of black fruits and floral layers, it finishes very long and provocatively perfumed.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"reviewBody\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 Points - \u003cspan itemprop=\"author\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003eWine Spectator\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"reviewBody\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis offers the best of both sides of Pauillac, with a deep, deep well of dark currant, fig, blackberry and black cherry paste flavors forming a lush side while a series of I-beams made of graphite and iron provide the rigid structure. The two sides meld, pulling in extra sweet tobacco, smoldering cast iron, juniper and savory notes on the finish, leaving a mouthwatering feel. A real stunner.
