Fourth Growth. Quatrieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855.
Very solid, this sports lots of fresh bay, pepper and rosemary notes amid a slightly chunky core of black currant and fig paste flavors. The finish picks up a prominent charcoal edge, but this is warm and inviting overall. Like a cabin hideaway, this is pleasantly rustic.- Blind 2000 Bordeaux retrospective (December 2015). – Wine Spectator
