Beautiful, with lots of blackberry and currant, hints of toasty oak and fresh mushroom. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish. This shows really well. Very ripe. Serious. Long and in harmony. 65 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 29 percent Merlot, 4 percent Cabernet Franc and 2 percent Petit Verdot. Score range: 92-94 –JS WS
Good ruby-red. Currant, black raspberry, cocoa powder and graphite on the nose. Silky on entry, then impressively sweet in the middle palate, with classic Pauillac flavors of currant, chocolate and graphite dominating. This boasts the sharp focus of the vintage's best examples but can't quite match the 26 for consistent ripeness and mid-palate depth. Tannins are quite firm and in need of six or seven years of patience.- Stephen Tanzer (5/27)
