ROBERT PARKER “Tasted blind in Bordeaux against other First Growths. Nose is dumb at this primordial stage, but a most concentrated palate with dense blackcurrant and cedar. Layers of cassis. Quite approachable with tobacco notes. Marvelous 1997, probably the best of the First Growths and already accessible at this early stage. Tasted February 2000.”
