Grand Cru Classe, St Emilion, Bordeaux, FR- "Although this is very ripe and rich with a generous body and a slew of black fruit aromas it's also elegant and poised. The bitter chocolate character is more restrained than in many modern-style Right Bank wines of this period..."

Pomerol, Bordeaux, France- Decanter Best in Show Winner "Deep plum colour, this is all smooth edges and steel black fruit delivery, could do with a little more lift and energy. Bitter chocolate shavings and smoked rosemary on the finish."
