Pauillac, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
5e Cru Classé with cult status. Apparently known as 'the black horse' because the big Pauillac producers fear this wine when it is lined up next to their wines in a blind tasting. Brought to the restaurant by a regular guest who shared a glass. Great bouquet and texture!

Pretty deep colour with very little bricking . Pretty deep cassis , black fruit nose , touch of truffle , grafite . Lovely red and dark fruits , great acidity , ripe slightly gritty tannins , long slightly slate and grafite finish . Young still , better with time in the decanter and will be better still in 5-10 years and will last a further 10.
