You had blueberry, caramel, potpourri, plum and cassis on the nose, a gorgeous medley. The palate opening has licorice, espresso and blackberry. There is marvelous concentration here, somewhat emblematic of the vintage, but the supple tannins, and seamless texture, rein in potential excess. You get cedar, tobacco, and fascinating salinity past the mid palate, and its power has graciously mellowed, leaving you with a delectable expression of Petrus prowess. You get sumptuous black plums and sweet tobacco, with a blaze of Pomerol’s essence on the layered, ebullient finish.

Initial taste: orange rind, bittersweet chocolate, chalky unsweetened pez violet candies, some acid still there...

Nose after 30 min: maple, cinnamon roll, hot chocolate laced with cardamon.

Sum: perfumy, musky, chocolate cordial w/ citris/orange and lime peels, ending with tree bark, eucalyptus, mint and bay leaf to cleanse the palette for the next glass...
