Full bodied with medium plus acidity. Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, spices, oak, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, light earth, light vegetables, herbs, tobacco leaf and black pepper. Medium finish with grippy tannins and raspberries. This 15 year old, Fifth Growth Bordeaux, is still young and tight. Needs 5 to 10 years in the bottle to mature properly. I gave it 90 minutes in the decanter, but it probably was not enough. Robert Parker 96 points. Wine Spectator 92 points. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Grippy and rich. Definitely needs food at this point, like a big piece of steak. A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. 13% alcohol by volume. 92 points. $125.
