Avis d'expert

Franck Dubourdieu

Une des plus belles bouteilles de 1899-1944.

96 / 100

Wine Spectator

(1996)
This is ultraripe, with sweet tobacco, plum and mint and verging on pruny. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a powerful, layered mouthfeel. Long, long finish. This is amazingly fresh yet decadent and aged. Wild wine.
