ps. I like the more extracted style of 1999 Ch. Monbousquet better in comparison.
Dark purple color. Great aromas of tar, cigar box, pencil lead and black forest fruit. Definitely a classy Bordeaux. However, this wine is still too young on the palate. Blackberry, subtle cassis, and again the taste of tar/tobacco. Good concentration. It has good lenght (20 seconds) and doesn't feel heavy, but tannins are still rough which suggested that more aging (5+ years) is required. 91 points right now and will merit higher score in a next few years.
