Chateau Vieux Robin 2000, Bois de Lunier
RP88, DD90, Decanter 4-Star, Cru Bourgeois Superieur.
Good depth of blackcurrant fruit, greenness to soften out, but quite classy.
Floral nose with leathery tones, palate is ripe with fine, melted tannins. Well balanced with long and quite complex aftertaste. Nice developement in glass.
