Reserve de la Comtesse 2000 (Pauillac, Bordeaux)

Youthful but aromatic, Reserve de la Comtesse 2000 (Pauillac, Bordeaux) is dense ruby, exhibiting strong aromas of smoke, oak, spice and cherry, it is rich bodied with strong young tanins, recessive fruit and a long finish. Young and still closed but with great potential, re-taste in 5 years. Score 15/20. Hogi Hyun, 28 May 2005.
