“This wine continues to be backward, but the bouquet is beginning to develop secondary nuances from roasted herbs and sweet cigar tobacco to compost, leathery notes, along with plenty of sweet cherry and black currant fruit. I had somewhat higher hopes for it a decade ago. The wine is still youthful, quite pure, medium to full-bodied, but somewhat elevated, austere tannins in the finish at age 16 are starting to make me think they will never become fully integrated. As always, making a judgment call on a wine destined to have a half-century of life is sometimes difficult, given the varying stages it goes through, but I wonder if this wine will turn out to be as profound as I once predicted. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2030. ”

"这款酒带有烤香草,甜雪茄,甜樱桃和黑醋栗的香气。十年前,我对这款酒还是有很高的期望的。那时候,这款葡萄酒还年轻,酒体适中,单宁朴实,这让我觉得这款酒并不会有很大的潜力。然而,时间可以改变一款葡萄酒,因为她会经历许多不同的阶段,但我并不知道在这款酒会不会像我想的那样有潜力。适饮期:2008-2030。"
