Stephen Brook: Although showing some evolution, the color is still very deep. The nose is sweet and fleshy, oaky but not charred, and it has some freshness and charm despite its leafiness. The palate is supple and fleshy but with no trace of heaviness. Despite its underlying tannins, this is ready now. Although immensely attractive and entirely typical of the vintage, this nonetheless lacks some complexity, Overall, very good but not great, since it lacks depth and dimension, so drink soon.
