| Medium-dark, half-matured red colour. Delicately fine, multi-layered bouquet, wet teak, fine peppery contours, delicate cedar spice, lays down slowly, steadily On the palate it shows the incredible finesse of a delicate Saint Julien. Mature, but still promising decades of further enjoyment. (19/20). 17: An Imperial during a big bottle evening at the Vila Vita in Portugal. Cedar and summer truffles on the nose. Velvet and silk on the palate. The terroir exudes a fine sweetness and sheer colour on the back palate. I drank as much of it as I could. And that was quite a lot. | |
